""We came through, I thought we managed it pretty well. We still want to manage it with the ball more and create more chances. But again, our guys are running on fumes. Some of them have put a lot in, and it's been Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday for a bit.""
""You don't want to burn these guys out, but you want them to push themselves and they're elite athletes who should be able to play quite a bit. There's a lot that goes into this, and sometimes you get it right. Sometimes it ends up being trickier.""
Ben Olsen acknowledges that many Houston Dynamo players are fatigued after a demanding schedule, having played seven times in April. The team currently sits ninth in the Western Conference with four wins and five losses. Following a recent 2-0 defeat to Austin FC and a narrow 2-1 victory over Louisville City in the U.S. Open Cup, Olsen indicates that player rotation may be necessary to manage fatigue. The Colorado Rapids, who are just ahead of the Dynamo in the standings, also faced challenges in their recent matches.
