New York City FC, Red Bulls rivalry heating up already



New York Red Bulls boss Mike Petke had some stern words for 2015 expansion side New York City FC: “They’re the new guys coming in and I'm looking forward to smashing them in 2015, to be honest with you. That’s it. I don’t have any love for [them] because it’s a new team in the league, I love this league, and I think expansion is a [good] thing but now that they have come where we are we’ll welcome them, hopefully, with a smashing.”

How will New York Red Bulls respond
to "noisy neighbors" New York City FC?

“Sometimes you have a noisy neighbor. You cannot do anything about that. They will always be noisy. You just have to get on with your life, put your television on and turn it up a bit louder.”
– Sir Alex Ferguson

Finally, Mike Petke knows how Fergie felt. The legendary Manchester United manager made the above memorable quote famous five years ago after getting the best of Manchester City in a derby match between the crosstown rivals.

Red Bulls plan for life with NYCFC, and without Henry

“We know we have the best soccer experience in the area, if not the country," he said. "So that is not going to change, and we need to keep delivering on that. We need to improve the fan experience in the stadium, so we will absolutely be laser-like focused on everything that happens before game, during the game and after a game as it can be, to make their life as enjoyable as it can be while they're with us.”
