The New York Red Bulls knew they’d have a tough preseason schedule, so they had the players come in to training already in shape.
“The energy of preseason has been fantastic,” Head Coach Jesse Marsch said.
Marsch said the team wanted the players to be “ready to go” so they could work on “soccer philosophy and concepts.” Despite this, Marsch knows the team isn’t 100 percent.
“They’re not all totally fit and totally sharp, so I know it won’t be our best match we’ve ever played,” Marsch said.
The head coach said that he expects all of his players to be ready to be called upon for Wednesday night’s game.
