“No one thought we were going to win and we beat them,” Forsberg told amNewYork. “What I felt at that time was everything is about how you mentally work.

The Red Bulls are one of the youngest sides in MLS and developing talent still needs to have a nurturing aspect to it. One of the most important messages he has tried to push on his younger teammates is the consistency of a positive mindset, which is something that appeared to be lacking before the new regime of Forsberg and head coach Sandro Schwarz arrived last winter.
