Friday, April 16, 2010

Backe’s highly mobile as great as well-traveled soccer career began in 1977. He coached via Scandinavia until a 2006 season. The following year a Swede had a short stay in Greece prior to relocating on to serve as Sven-Goran Eriksson’s assistant during Manchester City (2007) as great as a Mexican National Team (2008). Backe returned to England to turn Notts County’s head male in 2009.

In this exclusive interview with John Zielonka, conducted prior to his gallbladder surgery, Backe shared his perspectives on his newest side, MLS, Designated Players as great as supposing a season-ending prediction.

Goal.com: How did we end up with a New York Red Bulls?

Hans Backe: we left Notts County during a commencement of December. Erik Soler became a general physical education instructor during a commencement of December. He phoned me when we had  left Notts County. we knew him a little bit from before. we pronounced "yes" directly. It was really a opposite as great as brand new plea in a brand new continent. we was in Mexico as great as saw a lot of MLS teams in a inter-league matches, a Super-Ligas, as great as we knew a turn rather well.

Goal.com: With your exposure to MLS, how would we review a turn of play compared to what you’ve seen in other leagues?
 
Backe: It is formidable to say. You can't review it with a Premiership in England, or a Spanish league, a Italian league, substantially not a French joining either. we consider we can review it to a joining in Europe. we would say a best joining in Scandinavia a Danish league. It is really allied with which one. The Dutch joining could be on a little bit higher level; substantially not a top teams similar to Ajax or PSV, though rather tighten to a Dutch league.

Goal.com: Has anything surprised we to illustrate far about MLS or socce! r in a U .S.?

Backe: we have been around, as great as each time we arrive everybody says great this will be a problem since we do not know a league. Soccer is a same all over a world. The only things with a MLS are a little tricky manners with a income caps, allocations money, trade as great as drafts. With me there's no difference between MLS as great as a rest of a world.

Goal.com: The Red Bulls struggled final year. How would we assess this year’s squad?
 
Backe: We played a initial diversion opposite Chicago it was eight out of 11 starters from a final season. Of course, a priority has been a aptness level. We conceded 41 goals final deteriorate as great as need to work on a defending game. That has a main aim these past two-and-a-half months. we just feel I'm surprised in a way which after a severe deteriorate which their spirit could be which great when they came back. The attitude has been excellent. We got two, three brand new players which have been impressive. They have been outstanding all pre-season. So we consider it was important, even if it was only accessible games, to start winning.



Goal.com: In looking during your 24-man roster, 14 of them come from outside of a U.S. We’re also saying some-more foreign coaches, similar to you, in MLS. Do we consider a joining is apropos some-more international?

Backe: we demeanour during Europe as great as in each country and  in each club it's really global. we consider when we were in Man City we had 12 opposite nationalities. we consider which a future will be similar to that.  

Goal.com: MLS not long ago voiced a capability to sign a second as great as third Designated Player. Any skeleton to add some-more to your roster?
 
Backe:! I'm rather assured which after a World Cup we’ll have three DP players. Nothing is confirmed. It is a lot of rumors, though we am assured we will be means to get during slightest one some-more directed towards player.

Goal.com: Last question. Will a Red Bulls have a playoffs?
 
Backe: That's a main target. It has to be a target. It's an even joining as great as we consider we're great sufficient to have a playoffs.
