Red Bull Salzburg are reloading before the start of the Austrian Bundesliga season with the signing of Brentford midfielder Mads Bidstrup. The 22 year-old Danish player has found it hard making his way into the squad with a most recent loan to FC Nordsjaelland being where he played in the 2022-23 season.

"Mads has an incredible mentality and suits our playing style in Salzburg perfectly," said Sporting Director Christoph Freund. "He is very versatile too and can be played anywhere in the midfield. Mads has played in a few different countries and already has quite a bit of experience."

Bidstrup only played 14 games for Brentford but a total off 57 in the Danish Superliga in the last two seasons. At such a young age, the move will give Bidstrup more playing time with a club that is a constant in the UEFA Champions League and has dominated the domestic competitions.

"I am a player who likes to be aggressive," said Bistrup. "It is the perfect step for me to move here. My compatriot Maurits Kjaergaard told me everything about life here in Salzburg, of course, and I have only heard good things."

Salzburg will start their campaign with an Austrian Cup match on Sunday against SG RDagger. The Austrian Bundesliga will begin one week later as the club hopes to continue their dominance and win the club's 18th championship and their 11th in a row.

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...
