""It's something that we have to continue to work on," Bradley said about defending set-pieces. "Obviously, from the makeup of our team from a physical profile standpoint, it means that it's an area where on some nights we're going to be really challenged.""
""We don't have a team full of guys that are six foot two, six foot three, right down the line. That's just the reality. So, we have to continue to find the right ways to work at that part of the game.""
""We have to continue to be smart and creative with how we set ourselves up. And so yes, it's frustrating.""
New York Red Bulls head coach Michael Bradley acknowledged the need for improvement in set-piece defending following a 3-1 loss to New York City FC. The team has not won in their last four matches across all competitions and currently sits 11th in the Eastern Conference. Bradley emphasized the physical limitations of the team, stating that they lack height, which makes set-piece defense challenging. He expressed the need for smart and creative strategies to address this issue as they prepare for their next match against FC Dallas.
