A difficult defeat to accept that against New York Red Bulls. NYCFC has practically not reached the field, with a terrifying start that forced the team of Vieira to chase the opponents right away. An insufficient test by the Blues who literally collapsed under the blows of the adversaries.

Leaving aside the technical aspects of the game, what is most considerable is the attitude taken by the team. NYCFC seemed to take the field without motivation in the game of the year that instead the reasons it creates for itself. The team took a huge step back in terms of performance, but what worries is the mental attitude of the players. After the match Vieira confessed that, if he could, he would change ten of the eleven players at the end of the first half. Proving that the team was mentally absent. What must make us think, is that NYCFC has lacked personality in the most important game of the season. A sign that, despite the good performances obtained previously, with the exception of Portland, the team has clear technical and above all mental limits. The Blues must improve in all aspects and above all mature trying to become as soon as possible a team with a strong personality and a winning team to avoid other ugly performances.
