CHARLOTTE – Stevan Jovetic was next up to face the journalists at Bank of America Stadium.
"We've played well in some matches, today we came up against a better side and unfortunately we lost. We've played a game every three days and the heat didn't help; we performed better on other occasions.
"However you look at it, there's a lot of work to do before the season starts.
"We'll improve a great deal after just a few days training with the full squad. As for the transfer window, that's not my job. Mauro Icardi is a great player and it will be a shame if he leaves. He looks calm and is training. I hope he stays."
