Gerhard Struber officially announced himself as Red Bull New York’s new head coach on October 6, won his paint visa and arrived in New Jersey last week.
Struber did not meet with his players as a user at the Hanover school until 16 November, and it was a mask, more than two metres away.
On Saturday, Struber will take the Red Bulls to a playoff game that will win or return Saturday afternoon in Columbus.
“I’m concentrating and concentrating on tactical things by Saturday,” Struber said. “It is my wonderful duty at this time, and my wonderful concentration and wonderful power only pass that way. On the side, I don’t think it’s just the task of bringing the right players to the area on Saturday, with the right tactical plan and the right power. “
His new boss, Kevin Thelwell, sports director of Red Bulls, said Struber “totally allowed” to be offside on Saturday. He also reiterated the Red Bulls’ plan to win the MLS Cup.
But not this season. The Red Bulls have scored 15 of their 29 away goals, but are only 3-3-4 from New Jersey.
“The vision and dream of each and every MLS club is to win the MLS Cup at some point,” Thelwell said. “Without a doubt, I think we have recruited a head coach who will have the capacity, delight and experience to help. “We make this adventure unfold at the right time. We need to do it in a specific way. We need to do it. With young players. Gerhard has an exceptional delight in running with and in forming young players. We also have to do it with a very transparent identity, a very transparent taste for the game . . . I have no doubt that he will produce that identity and expand that identity to a new level. “

Struber trained with FC Liefering in Austria’s moment department and Wolfsberger FC in the Austrian Bundesliga.
“My next time (is) to lead the right players in the right direction, and also create the right results. Plus, we have the MLS Cup for our chest,” Struber said. “We are lucky enough to bring a surprise, right? We have big ambitions right now, and also for the long term. “
