The Red Bulls head to the Stade Saputo for another chance to break the road unbeaten streak
Whippany, NJ- The Red Bulls are in desperate need to get an important three points to attempt a leap over the Chicago Fire and get back into a playoff spot. With only one win on the road this season, and two road games remaining on the schedule, along with two home games, the time is now to make a strong finish and put themselves back over the playoff line.
Montreal is a tough place to win
Ever since CF Montreal entered Major League Soccer from the lower levels, either at the Olympic Stadium or Stade Saputo, this club has had a difficult time getting three points in Quebec Province. No matter how good or how bad Montreal is, they still give the Red Bulls fits in their home stadium. It’s time for the Red Bulls to grab a win and break that negative streak.
“It’s a very important game, 100 percent. In Montreal, our focus is clear: the quality that we want to show on Saturday, and of course, it’s very important. And also, when you are playing very well, when you are playing very intensively, then you want the result in the form of three points. So it’s very important: clear focus, clear concentration of our identity, and of course, the clear focus, clear concentration of the result as well,” said Sandro Schwarz
Red Bulls edged Montreal in Harrison
The Red Bulls did defeat CF Montreal, but they were in a big battle against them. The only goal of the match came from Noah Eile as he headed in a corner from the near side, as he was camped along the far post. They have been fighting very well, even though their season has been horrible as Montreal is currently at the bottom of the East.
“We analysed this game as well in our Sports Illustrated Stadium against Montreal. We analysed all the last games which they played. When you are looking at the table, you see they are on the bottom of the table, but for me I watched one game live in our stadium in the League Cup against a Mexican team. For me, it’s a very aggressive team.
What we expect on Saturday against Montreal in their defence behaviour? Very man-oriented, very aggressive to step out, very aggressive. In their forward defending, we have to be ready, and I think when we want to have an advantage in our offensive, then we have to win a one against one duel and maybe to open a space or something like that.
I don’t expect a clear ball possession game against a deep opponent, so it’s another way. I expect a very intensive game on Saturday against Montreal, and they have also done, especially with the striker, with some guys as a winger full back when they are swimming sometimes in their built-up position. So, a clear structure with the ball and very aggressive against them, so we have to be ready against them and show our. quality”
Lewis Morgan is out
During training, Lewis Morgan has once again reinjured himself. It’s very tough to see him not being able to suit up after last season’s comeback year and earning the comeback player award. Maybe it’s just taking the safe bet and shutting him down for the last four games of the season.
“No, he’s out. He will have an MRI on Monday again, so then we will see how it is. But he’s clear out for the game. against Montreal. It was something in his individual programme, so we have to check him. We have to check him and then we will see how it is next week. He did individual work today, so it is not the situation that he’s doing nothing. He’s doing individual programme, but it’s not this process right now that he can join a full team training session. So at the end, it’s clear that he’s out.“
Pressure is mounting on the club
Without a doubt, the pressure is building on the Red Bulls to get a victory against Montreal. Depending on what Chicago does in their match against Minnesota United FC on the road. No matter how you slice it, these three points are very crucial for the club to force Chicago’s hand.
“That’s a big deal, of course, and it’s good also to feel the pressure to be honest because that’s a professional sport, it’s not semi-professional it’s a professional sport to prepare everything, and of course, it was clear focus, clear concentration in our training session. Of course, after the Portland game, especially after this result, it’s not the best atmosphere that everyone is laughing here, but that’s normal, that’s okay.
You have to see the difference between a losing game and a winning game, and we feel this as well, and it’s good. And now we will see if we can handle the pressure on Saturday, of course. That’s at the end. We can talk a lot in a press conference, and we can talk a lot in video meetings on the training. pitch but when it’s kick-off, then you have to show the intensity and the quality with the ball in a clear direction that’s every time the answer what you can give on the field and not to talk too much about before the game.”
One advantage for the Red Bulls
Depending on the result for Chicago, if they do get a draw and the Red Bulls win, the lone advantage they have of keeping the last playoff spot is the goal differential. At the moment, the Red Bulls have a two goal advantage as they have a +3, while Chicago has a +1. So now it’s up to Schwarz and his side to finish off strong and attempt an escape.
