The New York Red Bulls concluded their first phase of the preseason in Florida with a convincing 3-0 victory over D.C. United. Daniel Royer, Florian Valot and Tom Barlow scored the goals.
“It was a very good game,” said Royer, who scored the first goal of the day. “Definitely, the best so far in the preseason. I think everybody showed up. We did a really good job in terms of counter-pressing, and more so with the ball, which is really important, so that when we win balls back, we’re able to play and create chances.”
Last Saturday, the Red Bulls lost 2-1 to Atlanta United in their first scrimmage of the preseason, but Valot feels that the team was able to build off from that defeat.
