Frank Rost inspires New York Red Bulls’ win against FC Dallas - MLS News
Major League Soccer franchise New York Red Bulls won their first game 1-0 against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Frank-Rost-c14103 since his arrival at Red Bull Arena in mid-July.
“I was happy we won the game,” Rost said after the win. “For each player, it was a good feeling after the match. You could see on the face of the players that a lot of pressure fell down. I hope we can take this good feeling into the next match.”
Since last month, the player had been sidelined with injuries, missing out the last four games. Moreover, Rost’s arrival at the New York Red Bull Arena so late in the season was questioned by the critics, especially his Designated Player’s contract.
It was apparent from his arrival that the head coach wanted to strengthen the defence which had broken down several times during the summer. Upon his return from injury, Rost proved his ability to communicate with the stalwarts and protection of the net at the same time.
The custodian remained firm in front of the net against the able FCD attack and also controlled his area by directing the back four. Statistics show that the Toros were restricted to only three shots on target throughout the entire match.
“He’s very loud in the goal, very, very loud,” Backe said. “He communicates with the back four, get them in the right position to do their http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684. He was massive this game.”
The clean sheet was a confident reply to the critics but Rost’s sole intention was to win for the first time since his arrival at the franchise.
With the win, RBNY are now tied with Portland Timbers at 36 points from 28 games but their +5 goal difference takes them into the lead for the tenth and last spot in playoffs.
