Is the Jamaican youth international the partner that Stefano Bonomo has been looking for?
In the latest strike partnerships for New York Red Bulls II, the team has decided to field Stefano Bonomo and Junior Flemmings as the two strikers in the 4-2-2-2 gegenpressing system. Flemmings and Bonomo may yet prove to be the team's most effective strike partnership.
Bonomo's is an athletically limited striker who isn't adept at scoring. He lacks the technical ability to thrive as a false nine and the size and strength necessary to succeed as a hold-up striker. It is easy to knock Bonomo for his lack of goal scoring prowess and athletic ability, however, his awareness and positional sense consistently creates space for others.
