Wings Were Given to the Redbulls

        The NY Metrostars Redbulls were practicing as usual when the Write on Sports camp came to absorb some general knowledge and history about the team. The camp got to interview two players Luke Sassano,#32 (USA) and Danleigh Borman, #11 (South Africa). The assistant coach Richie Williams was also interviewed as well as assistants to the team itself. Having such a big achievement for the team to leap from last place in the league to second place, was the big talk of the town amongst these youngsters who were interviewing. To Sassano, the achievement seemed to be "Unbelievable" in his opinion, which, of course, is a fact.. that is a great accomplishment! According to the two assistants to the team (Kristine and Kate)what was really a big impact on the team that made it jolt to second place was the fact that their field has changed, making a big difference with practice. 

         So, what about this new name? What about all this diversity on the team? Who was the hardest competitor? Well, as a matter of fact, the new name didn't really cause any effect to the team, 

"We were a little scared that Redbull, was going to sell more cans instead of.. soccer", stated Kristine. Though, the fans viewed it at a different angle. It was not very easy for them to get used to the new change, though it was something for them to deal with.  Diversity on the team- it was something quite unique about the team. In fact, one of the players on the team from New Zealand actually played on the World Cup! 

"It is very interesting, actually. But everyone knows the language of soccer", explained assistant coach, Richie Williams once he was asked how the diversity of the team affected his coaching. Borman was also asked about the hardest competitor for the team to play against. In his opinion, it was actually Barcelona. In the assistant's (Kristine) opinion, the hardest team for the Redbulls to go against was Colombus Crew. Well, if you were to ask ANYBODY on the team, there will be a sea of different opinions.

        It may have been a torturous hot day for the camp to go outside, but it was a great day no matter what! The camp got to know so much about the professional soccer team as well as get their opinions about the World Cup (They all preferred Spain).
