Red Bulls, Més que un club

Today, we visited the New York Red Bull's practice at Montclair University. What we observed them doing today, was dead ball situations. They were practicing corner kicks, and free kicks. They had some pretty nice goals, and most of their shots were on target.

After the practice, we got to interview Christina, and Kate who were community relations, and public relations people for the Red Bulls. They talked about the history of the club, and they talked about the back round of the players. After we talked to Christina, and Kate, we also spoke with defensive midfielder, Luke Sassano number 32. He spoke about his favorite player who is Wayne Rooney, who currently players for Manchester United in England. He said he liked Rooney, because even though he is a super star, he stays focus, and respectful to the game. Luke also talked about what he does when he faces problems with his teammates. Usually, they just keep it on the field, because it's all a competition. Once they get off the field, they forget all about it. Before and after practice, Luke also trains on his own. He usually goes running with his mates, and then after practice, they go weight lifting to keep fit.

All in all, the Red Bulls are family to each other. They're like brothers, they look out for each other, take younger ones in as their own, and even meet up with each other outside of practice very often. This weekend, they will be traveling to South Africa to see the world cup finals. Most of the team is rooting for Spain, and i think they will be delighted to see the outcome.
