"One of the things that's important is your last result sometimes emotionally feels like it defines you, but it doesn't. Our collective work so far is what we've been looking at. I think we really want to respect ourselves a bit more. And in terms of the way that we want to play, I think we can build pressure with a little bit more intensity and clarity on the opponent when they're building up."
"Julian is a really talented young player. I think sometimes it's easy to forget how young he still is because he's been a professional for a few years, but he has really, really big qualities. We've got to keep pushing him so that he can take the next step."
New England Revolution assistant coach Michael Morris emphasized the need for his team to show more self-respect and intensity as they prepare to face New York Red Bulls. The Revs suffered a disappointing 4-1 defeat to Nashville SC in their season opener, marking another difficult period following playoff misses in 2024 and 2025. Morris stressed that while recent results affect emotions, the team's collective work matters more, and they must build pressure with greater intensity and clarity. Meanwhile, the Red Bulls sit third in standings after defeating Orlando City SC 2-1, with 17-year-old Julian Hall scoring both goals. Head coach Michael Bradley praised Hall's talent and the young players in the lineup, noting their significant qualities despite their age.
