Red Bulls faces big questions that go to the key to a key

Red Bulls faces big questions that go to the key to a key

New York Coach, Sandro Chaworm, was never one of being busy searching for the road.

The second year coach was not looking to do so, the day before the opening of the Red Bulls, the League Cup against Chevas Guadalajara on Wednesday.

But Red Bulls finds themselves in a risky position after 25 league games this season – on the wrong side of cutting the qualifiers while entering a compressed part of their schedule and its running schedule in the MLS calendar.

Over the next five matches, the Red Bulls team will participate in the Championship Cup, Lamar Hunt UPEN CUP and the regular MLS season – an extension that will include three games in one week – raises the issue of where the team’s priorities lie.

The Championship Cup, championship in the season between the teams in Liga MX and MLS in Mexico, which was first offered in 2019, and the US Open Cup offers a way for the team to qualify for the prestigious CONCACAF Champions Cup.

Meanwhile, Red Bulls did not miss the MLS qualifiers in the previous 15 seasons.

However, if there is a regulatory priority, the Shawareers did not tend to hand during a conversation with the post.

He said, “I would like to say it is not … more mls or after that opening the cup, cup championships, or something like this.” “For us, the priority is to bring our face in the field every day. This is the focus, and this, in fact, is very important in our position. To see an opportunity in each game, to see the opportunity in every game, on our confidence in believing ourselves.”

Since the end of May, things were not great for Red Bulls, and the club that shocked the MLS world scored to reach the MLS Cup final last winter only one victory over the past two months and returned to the tenth place, where one point came out of a decisive image, after a 1-0 loss to the Chicago fire at the end of last week.

The Red Bulls team was without star Luis Morgan, who was suffering from a quad injury, and it is not expected to return until late August, and Cameron Harper, who deals with a knee injury and goes out indefinitely.

This has sparked concerns about the depth that the team must face injury issues because the scoring was limited, as it reached average 1.56 goals for each match, and they faced their defense, harmoniously with 17 goals during their past eight games.

Schwarrs described her as “unfair” to try to analyze the list or the ongoing season when this topic was raised by the post.

The results – or their lack of – left Red Bulls fans more frustrated, as the average attendance from last season and their supporters decreased to social media, after the team apparently raised the tape with its operation last season and their first appearance in the league championship match nearly two decades.

The coach understood that the success of last year brought higher expectations, but defended the current group.

“This is normal. It is not the first time that this experiment was conducted, to be honest,” Shawarz said about expectations. “But for this group at the present time, this is not fair and we have to do everything to try to provide our best. This is clear. Men are doing a great job, and we have to deal with some situations … but the expectations are good, but I think it may also be every time to be realistic, and this is important.

In the midst of the recession for Red Bulls and the beginning of the League Cup, the MLS summer transport window was opened last week and the club was linked to German striker Timo Werner, who remained in ongoing negotiations with Red Bulls about a potential leap to MLS after it had previously appeared with Tottenham Hotspur and RB Leipzig.

During a press conference before the match on Wednesday, Schwarrs said that he and the front office had talks about bringing the players during the transfer window, but he insisted that the change must come from the group already with the team.

“This is our responsibility, and we must not change it and we can change this with our behavior,” he said.
