Even with a week one loss, the New York Red Bulls are primed to improve on their greatest season ever.
The team is coming off the quietest offseason in recent memory, and the narrative heading into week one was continuity. The first match of 2016 did not go as planned, but there is still reason to think this team could make some noise in 2016. The reason for that is due to an acquisition the team made in summer of 2015.
Gonzalo Veron is emblematic of the current state of the Red Bulls as an organization.
