Struber Looks to Replicate Home Form on the Road

New York Red Bulls head coach Gerhard Struber has had success at Red Bull Arena, winning their last four games at home but now hope to carry that momentum on the road against the New England Revolution. Thus far New York has been unable to win away from Harrison, N.J. with three straight losses to start the year.

"My team shows me very, very good moments," said Struber about the team's overall performance on the road. "The problem was more that we were not constantly good over 90 minutes."

The team's last game on the road was against New England where they scored first but were unable to hold the lead, eventually losing 3-1 and having defender Andres Reyes sent off. Despite the overall result, Struber and the team feel confident that they can extend their momentary strong form for longer portions of the game.

"Right now we are one step further in our process and I hope that we can also realize forward in the next game's good performance," said Struber."

It won't be easy as the Revs are atop the Eastern Conference following a 2-1 win over NYCFC this past weekend. New England head coach Bruce Arena has guided the once floundering side into one of the more competitive teams in the league and a potential MLS Cup Final favorite. Struber and company are hoping to put an end to that and add their own name to the list of teams expected to progress far into the playoffs this year.

"I think my team is ready to pick up points away. We have to reproduce this performance also away and I think this is the big challenge and the big motivation for everyone."

Merced New York Red Bulls homegrown players John Tolkin and Daniel Edelman have been called into the US Olympic training camp ahead of friendlies later in the month.

Tolkin, now entering his fifth year as a New York Red Bulls player, has experience with the national team going all the way back to 2018 with the US Under 17 team. In 2023, he played four games for the Under 23 team and four games for the main national team as well.

For Edelman it will be is first selection to such a camp. His experience with the Under 20's was extensive as he helped the team win the U20 Concacaf Championship in 2022. That tournamen...

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...
