When it comes to preseason, everyone knows that it’s just an exhibition match, even if it against your biggest rival. Facing off against the New York Red Bulls in the Desert Diamond Cup, Patrick Vieira decided to bring out his youngsters, but failed short of two goals.
Despite going away with 2-0 loss, Vieira seemed in high spirits after his preseason squad put up a battle against the Red Bulls’ first team. The Red Bulls put their best product on the pitch as they gear up for the CONCACAF Champions League.
For NYCFC and Vieira, it was a good chance to see his trialists and draft picks in competitive action.
