Alexander Ring is ready.
After an exceptional first regular season in MLS, you wouldn’t know that the midfield stalwart is heading into the playoffs as a first timer.
“Playoffs are different from the regular season games. I think we don’t need to fire anyone up for them. We know it’s do or die. And I think we are going be prepared – we’ve been prepared the whole time. I think the biggest achievement is that we’ve always stayed calm and believed in ourselves and that is going to take us a long way.”
It’s that same mentality that carried this team through an up-and-down last few months to the season and a regular season finale at the unfamiliar Citi Field in Queens.
