How Frankie Amaya became the centerpiece of the Red Bulls in 2022

The first four games of the 2022 New York Red Bulls season have had a handful of encouraging signs to build on, including and perhaps most notably the reemergence of Frankie Amaya.

Arriving early in the 2021 campaign via a trade with FC Cincinnati, the former first overall SuperDraft pick generally struggled for form throughout 2021 as most New York Red Bulls players did in what could only be described as a grind of a season. He was in and out of the match day squads, and it never seemed like he had found his stride between playing in a deep-lying role in midfield or one where he was closer to the forwards.
