The Red Bulls seeking another fruitful season with a pass to the league finals

So close but so far and left on the way, that’s the story with the Boys from New Jersey being on the verge of the finals and missing it badly after posting an amazing campaign.

This is it for manager Chris Armas looking forward to a successful run in the postseason and maybe reach those elusive finals in this upcoming 2020. 

Despite the team seeing a good number of important players these had in the past leave, in the end, manager Armas is looking forward in rebuilding this team with new blood and in this SuperDraft the club armed itself with some hopefuls that one can make the impact.

 

The NYRB have given new contracts to the big team to midfielder Chris Lema, midfielder Josh Sims, midfielder Cristian Casseres, Jared Strout, goalkeeper Ryan Meara and defender Amro Tarek,s this players according to manager Armas are ready to shine with the big team.

With the selections of defender Patrick Seagrist on the 10^th, , midfielder Cherif Dieye in the 15^th,  goalkeeper Wallis Lapsley 36^th , midfielder Deri Corfe 41^st and academy product John Tolkin as a HG. 

So far, in the preseason the arrivals of goalkeeper David Jensen from Utrech of the Eredivisie, defender Mandela Egbo from German side SV Darmstadt and claiming off waivers goalkeeper Kendall McIntosh formerly with the Portland Timbers. 

After the departures of notable players in goalkeeper Luis Gonzalez, forward Bradley Wright Phillips, midfielder Derrick Etienne Jr and defender Kemar Lawrence to new squads.

Still, for manager Chris Armas his move forward approach is somehow contagious with all his team and going strong in the preseason the man will have a tough time selecting who will be the players to make up the team at the start of the season. 

With many positives in the club scrimmages, manager Armas has seen the potential of his team and the damage these can produce against their league foes come March 1^st when they open the season at Red Bull Arena against second-year team FC Cincinnati.

Moving on the net week on the road at Rio Tinto Stadium and face off against the Real Salt Lake Royals on Saturday, March 7and at Allianz Field against the Minnesota United Loons on a game scheduled on Sunday, March 15.

 

In the end, many see the NYRB as a team in transition despite the positive results in the preseason, but somehow manager Chris Armas must produce a miracle in his current roster to make it into the playoffs in what seems to be another contested season in the East. 

I foresee a team struggling and with a ninth-place finish in the end but not too quick to jump into conclusions as the Red Bulls are one tough competitor and these can sneak their way into the postseason in the conclusion of this 2020 season.
