Emil Forsberg focused on Red Bulls playoff push, NYCFC derby
"It's a tough league. There are a lot of good teams, Forsberg, now in his second year with New York after a decade with RB Leipzig in the German Bundesliga, said. I think this team, we know what we can do. We know how good we can be, just that we gave way too many points, too many easy mistakes throughout the year. And if you do that, it's going to be possible [to miss the playoffs]."
"NYCFC is the first of three remaining matches separating the Red Bulls from a potential 16th-straight MLS playoff berth, which is anything but secure at this late stage of the season. The Red Bulls sit in 10th place in the Eastern Conference, two points behind the Chicago Fire, who have a game in hand, for ninth place and the final postseason spot. It's getting awfully late, and for a team that made the MLS Cup Final last season, missing the playoffs would be a considerable whiff."
The New York Red Bulls sit 10th in the Eastern Conference, two points behind the Chicago Fire for ninth place and the final postseason spot, with three matches remaining. NYCFC is the first of those three remaining matches. The team has four fewer points (43) than they did all of last year with the same number of remaining games. The Red Bulls reached the MLS Cup Final last season but now risk missing the playoffs after giving away too many points and making too many easy mistakes. Emil Forsberg expressed determination to beat NYCFC and confidence that the team can still make the playoffs. The squad is preparing with a positive week ahead of the derby.
