The New York Red Bulls may be in the midst of a youth movement, but it wouldn’t have been possible without the veterans.
At End-of-Year Media Day, head coach Jesse Marsch elaborated on how the team’s most experienced players impacted the growth of the young players in addition to their season’s overall.
“I challenged all the veteran players to understand that we were going to be about developing young players,” Marsch said. “Guys like Sacha Kljestan, Luis Robles, Bradley Wright-Phillips, Damien Perrinelle, the way that they’re committed to their leadership and to their selflessness, it’s a big part of what’s made us good and so I can’t thank those guys enough.
