"We have to take into account that we've played a few decent matches in the recent stretch, but losing the points was the end result of those games, City head coach Pascal Jansen said. We have to make sure that we play our games properly and this is a perfect opportunity, because you need to win to proceed to the next round, and that is what we're focusing on."
"The Boys in Blue have been struggling of late. They have not won a match in the MLS in six matches, since Mar. 14 against the Colorado Rapids. Though their 19 goals scored are tied for second-best in the league, their 16 goals conceded are the most the club has allowed across its first 10 matches of a league campaign."
"The change has come within the heart of the defense, and arguably, the most important positions. Captain Thiago Martins has started every league match when fit, but missed the Vancouver Whitecaps game, which NYCFC lost 2-0. He's been paired alongside either Raul Gustavo or Kai Trewin in the back, but stability is needed."
New York City FC and Red Bull New York face off in the U.S. Open Cup after both teams suffered league losses. NYCFC has not won in six MLS matches, while RBNY lost 2-0 to Cincinnati. City head coach Pascal Jansen emphasizes the importance of winning to advance in the tournament. NYCFC's defense has been inconsistent, with captain Thiago Martins missing a recent match.
