Adams on How to Stop PSG: No Written Game Plan

RB Leipzig rising star Tyler Adams isn't dwelling on his Champions League quarterfinal heroics too long as his thoughts are already on how to stop Paris Saint Germain. The star-laden team that consists of World cup winner Kylian Mbappe, international star Neymar and veteran winger Angel Di Maria, are poised to fulfill a destiny set out for them since the team began their big spending ways nearly a decade ago.

"We haven't yet thought about it," said Adams about their game plan against PSG. "Of course you can say those names and you think of the individual talent that they have and what they've done and achieved already, both of them, at such a young age, winning World Cups, winning the Olympics."

While PSG may have the high profile talent, Leipzig also have a series of impressive young players that have been the backbone of their success both in Europe as well as the Bundesliga. Tyler Adams is part of that core. Despite injuries and differing roles in the club, the young American's play has directly led to the progression of the club. Now, it is both his and the team's chance to show the world the level of talent at the young club's disposal.

Leipzig are new to this world of international football, having qualified for their first Champions League back in the 2017-18 season. Since then they have had stumbles at different stages, including not qualifying for the knockout stage of the Europa League in 2018-19. Those lessons were absorbed by current manager Julian Nagelsmann and now have the club poised to advance to their first Champions League final.

"This fearless mentality that our team has being such a young team," said Adams. "We go into these games just thinking we can win everything. Like I said, confidence is key in these types of moments, but going out there and obviously being able to execute is huge as well."

Leipzig have a few days left before their big game, stepping on the field this Tuesday at 3PM EST.

Quotes: Red Bulls Show Promise, But More Work Need To Be Done

photo by Matt Kremkau Sixty seconds in a ninety-minute match. That’s all it took for Sporting Kansas City to ruin the Opening Day festivities at Red Bull Arena on Saturday night. The supporters in attendance saw crisp passing and a stout defense that kept the visitors at bay, despite not having striker Alan Pulido in the starting lineup. But significantly, the supporters were buoyed by a return to that press that has last seen since Jesse Marsch was in charge. But that was the first 45 minutes. In the second half, things turned for the better and then, shockingly, worse for the home side that evening. Midfielder Caden Clark, who scored the opening goal, spoke about the match as a whole: I’ve kept that in the back of my mind, actually, not scoring at home. I really wanted to do that in front of the supporters, and it was great to do that in front of the few that were here tonight who brought the noise. When I scored that [goal] the place was shaking, and you feed off of that and gai...

Editorial: New York Red Bulls are Fun to Watch

photo by Matt Kremkau by Daniel Feuerstein The New York Red Bulls 2024 season starts off and running. In their first three matches, they have looked different from their last five to six seasons of doom and despair when trying to attack or have a lapse in judgment on the defensive end. The two big editions for the club are undoubtedly the imports from Sweden in Centerback Noah Elle & attacking midfielder Emil Forsberg. Two players who are a part of the Swedish National Team have started off well in Major League Soccer. We all knew what we were getting right away from Forsberg. A high-energy creative and attacking midfielder who was already bought in from day one, when Director of Sport Jochen Schneider went to Leipzig and brought him over. He was already committed to making the trip to the United States to play his brand of soccer, and so far he hasn't disappointed. Even though he has come close three times off of free kicks, hitting the crossbar twice and being saved by the ke...
