As they enter new season with questions in defense, Red Bulls need offense to up the pressure and help out the defense.
In capturing the Supporter’s Shield, the 2015 New York Red Bulls led MLS in goals scored with 62, as their nearest pursuers followed with 58. For this year’s team to even approach the success of last season, they might have to ramp-up the offense even more.
As the season progressed, the buzz-worthy phrases of RalfBall and high-press became very much en vogue when discussing the Red Bulls. An oversimplified explanation of the these phrases is that heard coach Jesse Marsch deployed his men, specifically his midfielders and striker, as a cohesive, defensive-pressing unit.
