Michael Bradley about facing Messi

During his pre-match press conference, New York Red Bulls head coach Michael Bradley let Bolavip know that his players won't get distracted about facing Lionel Messi and the Inter Miami stars.

“They don’t get distracted at all,” Bradley told Bolavip during a media session on Thursday. “We have a really good group. Training has been excellent all week. Like we have all season long, we continue to talk about the idea that we play one game at a time. You play the team that’s in front of you, and you get ready, you do everything you can all week to prepare and to be ready, when that whistle blows, to spill your heart and soul into that game and that 90 minutes. And when that’s done, then we get ready to do it again“.
