Marsch Played Key Role in Bringing Silva to Leipzig

RB Leipzig manager Jesse Marsch played a big role in bringing the Bundesliga Golden Boot runner-up Andre Silva to the team according to the player. The Portuguese striker has seen his career blossom in Germany and was a key part in Frankfurt's success last year. Now, he has a chance to push Leipzig over the top as potential league champions.

"He laid out to me how he would involve me," said Silva about his constant communication with Marsch in the off-season. "It was a good exchange with the head coach and was definitely one of the factors that led me to choosing to come to RB Leipzig."

Silva joins Leipzig at a critical time. The team was in desperate need of a striker following the departure of Timo Werner. Despite bringing in Hwang Hee-chan and Alexander Sorloth, the team could not produce in front of goal the way they did in previous years. Now, Marsch and the sporting team have gone out and made of the more significant moves in the Bundesliga this off-season.

"RB Leipzig's attacking style suits me very well," said Silva. "I think I can make a really good impact for the Red Bulls. Thanks to a lot of possession, we'll be able to create goal-scoring opportunities often and, of course, I can contribute a few goals myself."

Silva's career has taken a big leap forward in the last year. With Frankfurt, he scored 29 goals in all competitions, proving to be an effective weapon that could have gone to several other teams. However, Leipzig not only keeps him in the Bundesliga, but also takes him to the only team that could guarantee him a chance to lift a trophy outside of Munich.

"RB Leipzig's motto matches my way of thinking," said Silva. "You should never set yourself limits and always try to do your best to achieve the best possible outcome. I don't want to set myself any limits when it comes to goals."

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...
