NYCFC 2-0 RBNY, Cushing: "Total and perfect performance "

Nick Cushing is pleased after New York City FC's victory in the Hudson River Derby.

“The win cannot be underestimated,” he said, “because Red Bulls had a week off.

“The whole game is about energy. We played a match that was mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausting for us and we got the win against Atlas, which is an important match. Then we had to move on to two days of recovery, with no training time. You have to manage how many tactics, how many encounters, and how much information you put into tired minds. I have to rely on the guys to dig deep and the performance was 10 out of 10 ".
