The question was posed to Luis Robles in advance of the Red Bulls’ MLS season opener Saturday at Columbus: “What’s different about this year?’’
“It’s actually not so different, and maybe that’s the theme: continuing where we left off,’’ the 34-year-old goalie said. “Some of it is unfinished business with MLS Cup and even coming up short in the semifinal of CCL [CONCACAF Champions League] Cup. We maintain a huge returning group.’’
Indeed, the Red Bulls return 10 of their 11 starters from 2018, minus only midfielder Tyler Adams, who joined RB Leipzig in Germany’s Bundesliga.
“The core of our team understands what we’re about, what the culture and personality of this organization is,’’ Robles said.
