On this edition of the Red Bulls Insider Podcast, I’m joined by US Soccer Hall of Famer and former MetroStars and Red Bulls goalkeeper Tony Meola! Tony knows all about being a major part of USA soccer, and he shares his thoughts on the state of the Men’s National Team and why Bruce Arena is the right man to be at the helm. We also get into the Red Bulls, touching on Tyler Adams’ progression and whether he’ll be heading over to Europe, as well as the club’s new 3-6-1 formation. And there’s still more, as we reminisce about Meola playing with the MetroStars in MLS’ inaugural season, discuss how to cultivate young American talent in MLS and where former Red Bull Matt Miazga might end up in the fall. But before I chat it up with the three-time World Cup keeper, I share my thoughts on the Red Bulls’ much-improved play as of late, their back-to-back dominating wins and whether they’ve turned the corner on the season.
