"The best ever."
That's how Assistant Coach Chris Armas explained the physical fitness of the New York Red Bulls in Arizona as they prepare for Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League.
"We have a great group that’s committed and I think we learned our lesson from last year, not being prepared enough for the early stage of the tournament and it cost us," Armas said. "We’ve put in a lot for physical fitness. We’re in a good spot, in a good place."
Midfielder Tyler Adams said that the way the Red Bulls trained has made everyone step up their fitness levels -- veterans and new faces alike.
