in New York Red Bulls: Pre-season
Email
Print
So, here we are: the final game of the New York Red Bulls' pre-season. It should be a good test for the side, as SB Nation's Mexican Primera expert Kevin McCauley has informed me that Atlas are one of the more physical sides in FMF and are strong in midfield and defence. They also have a very good goalkeeper in Miguel Pinto and a formidable second striker in Flavio Santos.
For the Red Bulls, Juan Agudelo and Luke Rodgers are among several players missing due to injuries. Thierry Henry is fit and will start alongside...Salou Ibrahim. Enjoy?
RBNY (4-4-2? maybe?): Bouna Coundoul; Roy Miller, Tim Ream, Rafael Márquez, Carlos Mendes; Joel Lindpere, Mehdi Ballouchy, Teemu Tainio, Dane Richards; Thierry Henry, Salou Ibrahim
Subs: Greg Sutton, Tony Tchani, Tyler Lassiter, Carl Robinson, Corey Hertzog, Austin da Luz, Kassel, Héctor
Atlas: Canales, Alfredo Tahulian, Jimenez, Arreola, Robles, Paganoni, Flores, Dos Santos, Moreno, Osorno, Costly
Subs: Pinto, Chavez, Conde, Rodriguez, Pacheco, Espinoza, Ayala, Alferez
Let's go Red Bulls!

First sprint for Dane
ends with Thierry scuffing a ball to Ibrahim.

This looks like 4-1-3-2 still
Tainio (playing badly) deep in midfield with Lindpere, Ballouchy, and The Great Dane ahead (that’s from left to right).

Chance for Ibrahim goes a begging.
One-on-one and he misses. Some things never change…

13' in and already
this looks like a quality-free high scoring game.

Dane and Henry on the same page

Ballouchy booked
for a very rash challenge. RBNY look disjointed.

Red Bulls should have a penalty perhaps
Tainio tripped (or dove) just inside the corner of the box.

Tainio got a (probably accidental) elbow to the face

No subs at halftime.
Let’s see how much worse this can get.

Couple half chances for New York so far.
Still a hilariously bad game.

Now some chances for Atlas, nothing comes of them.
Big surprise.
Yes, my sarcasm is in full effect tonight.

Aaaaand Ibrahim misses another great chance one-on-one.
Totally unexpected.

Great run by Tchani
megs one defender, blazes past another, shoots narrowly wide.

Cleared off the line by Atlas
from Henry, I think.

Henry was down injured and they played on.
Not the classiest of things to do in a friendly.

And then Henry goes in two-footed
on some guy, misses him, and the Atlas player rolls around holding his leg and looking plaintively at the ref. Yellow to the Red Bulls captain.

Penalty to the Red Bulls
Lindpere obviously pulled down just inside the box.

And scores, 1-1.

Very bad.
I dunno what’s up with our team but guys like Mehdi and Salou/Ibrahim need to sit.

They were almost totally out of sync
It doesn’t bode well with First Kick in just 10 days.
