Orlando City midfielder Sacha Kljestan eager to beat New York Red Bulls

It’s no secret: Sacha Kljestan really wants to take down the New York Red Bulls.

He said it himself on Tuesday after Orlando City’s training session. The Red Bulls traded Kljestan to Orlando before the start of the season in exchange for Carlos Rivas, Tommy Redding and $150,000 in Targeted Allocation Money.

The two-time MLS assist king will face his former team Saturday at Orlando City Stadium.

It’s a match Kljestan wants to win for a few reasons – the Lions are winless through three matches so far and only have two goals and Kljestan has a chance to square off against former teammates who are still his friends.
