The New York Red Bulls’ amorphous formation dubbed “The Santa Maria” will be on full display this weekend against NYCFC.
Without a definite form, RBNY’s attacking-heavy formation will surely prove to be a handful for NYCFC. As a result of the offensive-minded high-pressure attack RBNY has seen increased opportunities. A fruition of RBNY’s attacking strategy is proven by more shots, shots on goal, and goals.
A noticeable contributor to RBNY’s attacking numbers has been Daniel Royer. Voted Alcatel MLS Player of the Month, Royer has seen outstanding numbers. He scored six goals in his last four starts.
