Sal Zizzo may eventually reflect on his time with the New York Red Bulls as one of the more peculiar periods of his career. He joined RBNY in 2015, weathered the storm the club brought on itself before that season even started, settled in to a new team playing an extreme and complex version of the pressing game favored by his former club (Sporting Kansas City), and was asked to learn a new position - right back.
As he admitted at RBNY's Media Day, he'd never played the position before, but Zizzo did as he was asked and was the starting right back when the Red Bulls clinched the 2015 Supporters' Shield.
