It was the Brazilian attacker’s day in camp, talking to NewYorkRedBulls.com about how he’s integrating into the team and working with Sacha Kljestan, Dax McCarty and Peguy Luyindula in midfield.
Felipe also spoke in depth about about his feelings on leaving Montreal, reunion with Jesse Marsch and a somewhat surprising figure that inspired his career.
Watch the Felipe interview above.
Training Update and Camp Cutdown
After Marsch gave the team all of Sunday off, the side returned to two-a-day sessions Monday. In the morning stretch, fitness was the emphasis before Marsch and assistant coach Denis Hamlett led two different groups through set piece plays.
In the evening session, the emphasis was on playing, with the team going through a number of different small-sided matches.
The number of players in camp also went down on Monday as trialists Tim Ward and Colin Heffron departed camp while Gabriel Cajano returned to Red Bull Brazil.
Red Bull U.S. U-17s Visit Training
The team welcomed two special guests to camp, welcoming Red Bull Academy members Tyler Adams and Matthew Olosunde to the evening training session.
Members of the U.S. Soccer U-17 Residency Program here in Bradenton, the pair were named to the U.S. roster set to depart Tuesday morning for CONCACAF U-17 World Championship Qualifying in Honduras.
Marsch introduced the pair to the entire first team roster prior to the session and wished them good luck ahead of their tournament opener this Friday vs. Cuba.
