RED BULL ACADEMY'S KASSEL WORKS OUT AT MINI-CAMP

With over 30 players in attendance at the Giants Stadium Practice Bubble on Wednesday battling to impress coaches and on-lookers alike, there is one player that the Red Bulls already know a lot about.

Spraying the ball and making plays in the center of the field, midfielder Matt Kassel from Bridgewater, NJ, can only be identified by his number 7 on his yellow vest and his more-or-less resemblance to a younger Frank Lampard. Kassel moved up through the ranks of the Red Bulls Academy and while he is only 18 years old, he has a bright future ahead of him.

And with new MLS rules in effect, Kassel could potentially fulfill the dream of players who enter the Academy -- graduating to the Red Bulls' first team.

We sat down with Kassel after Wednesday's session as he spoke about the Academy, mini-camp and "Lamps".

Matt, how did you start playing soccer?
My dad was always involved in soccer from back to the World Cup straight to the MetroStars. Through him, my dad was basically the main reason of how I got involved from there. He's been teaching me, coaching me and giving his input.

You are a player who has developed his game through the Red Bulls Academy. How has that experience been for you?
It was great. The competition has been top notch and the coaches have been great. They're always telling you that you need to improve on something and you work on that. The main thing is that you have to be at a place where there are good and competitive players because that's the only way you're going to get better. Being in an environment like I was, it really helped me out a lot.

More MLS teams are building their own academies. How promising is that for aspiring young players?
It's great, especially if you start out with the academies in MLS, it's a great step for every youth player out there. You look at it and this is where guys want to be and this is where they should be - playing in an academy.

You've been invited to this week's mini-camp by the Red Bulls coaching staff. How have you approached it?
It's great for me. I feel honored that I got called into this camp but that doesn't mean that it's done. You have to continue to work hard day in and day out and hopefully, the coaches like me and we move forward from there.

What areas do you improve in as a player?
I just need to continue to work hard and listen to the coaches' advice. I need to be in the right situations in the right times in moving forward and playing the best to my ability.

Finally, how often does someone say that you look like Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard?
All the time, especially when I went over to England. They called me Frank Lampard and people joke around about it. It's a good thing to joke around about it -- I wouldn't mind being Frank Lampard, that's for sure.

Aren't you a Manchester United fan?
Yes, I am a Man U fan.

So that wouldn't work out for now.
Nope, definitely not!

The Red Bulls announced on Jan. 21 that their Academy will be cost-free starting this year. For more information on the Red Bull Academy, call (201) 583-7025.

OSORIO FINALIZES STAFF

New York Red Bulls head coach Juan Carlos Osorio announced today that Richie Williams and Des McAleenan will continue the serve on the Red Bulls' coaching staff for the 2008 season.

Williams will be entering his third year with the Red Bulls. The University of Virginia alumnus was an assistant under Mo Johnston during the beginning of the 2006 season before Johnston was relieved of his head coaching duties on June 27. Williams served as the club's interim head coach for eight regular season games from June 27, 2006, through Aug. 12. During his tenure as interim head coach, Williams' squad went 4-3-2 in all competitions and he helped lead the Red Bulls on a three-game winning streak in July.

Williams, a Middletown, NJ native, played eight years in Major League Soccer spending six (1996-2000, 2002) of those seasons in the nation's capital playing for D.C.

In addition to his club play, Williams earned 17 caps with the U.S. National Team.

McAleenan is now in his eighth season as goalkeeper/assistant coach. During his tenure with the Red Bulls, McAleenan has enjoyed remarkable success training four U.S. National Team goalkeepers, including Tim Howard, Jonny Walker, Zach Wells, Tony Meola and Jon Conway. Under his tutelage, current English Premier League goalkeeper Howard developed into one of the best international goalkeeping prospects in the world. In the past two seasons, McAleenan has helped Conway post the first (2006) and fourth (2007) best goals against average in MLS.

Prior to joining the Red Bulls, McAleenan served as goalkeeping coach for the Connecticut Wolves of the A-League and NCAA Division III Trinity College in Hartford, CT.

Some notable names in attendance included former New England Revolution defender Marshall Leonard, former Columbus Crew goalkeeper Bill Gaudette, and USL First Division Rochester Rhinos defender Scott Palguta.

JOZY NAMED TO U-23 SIDE

New York Red Bulls forward Jozy Altidore was one of 23 players named by U.S. Under-23 Men's National Team head coach Peter Nowak who will participate in the squad's second training camp of 2008 from Jan. 26-Feb. 2 at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL. The camp will be the team's final opportunity to train together before Nowak selects the side that will compete in the CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying Tournament from March 11-23.

Recently, Altidore was invited by U.S. Men's National Team head coach Bob Bradley to the squad's first training camp of 2008, which started on Jan. 3 and culminated in the U.S.'s 2-0 friendly win over Sweden on Jan. 19 in Carson, CA. Earning his second senior cap in that match, Altidore came on at halftime and made an impact two minutes in, earning a penalty kick after a Swedish defender felled him in the box. This led to a Landon Donovan goal and a 2-0 U.S. lead.

In December, Altidore, 18, was with the U-23 squad that played a pair of friendlies against the Chinese U-23 National Team on Dec. 13 and 16 in Changsha and Guangzhou, respectively. A few weeks earlier, Altidore earned his first cap for the senior U.S. Men's National Team, when he was a second-half substitute in a 1-0 win over South Africa on Nov. 17.

Altidore has also played at the U.S. U-17 and U-20 levels. In the summer of 2007, Altidore partook in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada, playing a key role in the team's run to the quarterfinals. Altidore was the fourth-leading scorer in the tournament, netting four goals in five matches, including a pair to defeat Brazil, 2-1, in the group stage.

In qualifying, the U.S. U-23s play Cuba on March 11, Panama on March 13 and finish the Group A round-robin competition against Guatemala on March 15.

FOUR ADDED IN MLS SUPPLEMENTAL DRAFT

The Red Bulls selected four players in today's 2008 MLS Supplemental Draft, drafting midfielder Danleigh Borman from the University of Rhode Island (1st round, 7th pick), midfielder/forward Michael Palacio from Stony Brook University (2nd round, 21th pick), defender John Gilkerson from Winthrop University (3rd round, 35th pick) and defender Laurent Manuel from Brown University (4th round, 49th pick).

In 2007, Borman, from Cape Town, South Africa, was on the Atlantic 10 All-Conference Second Team after finishing the year with one goal and seven assists - a mark that tied him for second on the team. A year before, the 5-9, 160-pound midfielder earned the A-10 Championship Most Outstanding Player award when he helped the Rams to a 2-0 win over Saint Louis University in the A-10 championship game. That season, the 2004 A-10 Rookie of the Year ended the year with two goals and five assists. During his time at URI, Borman accumulated seven goals, 16 assists while playing in 83 games. On the international level, Borman has been called up to the U-19 South African Men's National Team.

Palacio was a three-time selection on the America East First Team and was named to the All-Northeast region second team in his junior season. In 2007, the Long Beach, NY, product scored four goals and six assists for the Seawolves as they earned a 9-7-3 record. During his junior year, Palacio scored two goals and four assists and the Stony Brook all-time leader in assists was named the America East Midfielder of the Year. His best year statistically was in 2005, when he played in 22 games and led Stony Brook with 11 goals and seven assists.

Hailing from Winchester, VA, Gilkerson was named to the All-Big South First Team for his junior and senior year and in 2006, he was named to the NSCAA/adidas All-South Atlantic Region Team. In 2007, Gilkerson started in all of the Eagles' 18 regular season games, scoring one goal and two assists while leading a defense that conceded just 13 goals all year. Gilkerson, who has also played for the Hampton Roads Piranhas (PDL), helped guide a Winthrop defense that earned a 0.73 goals against average in 2006, a mark that was 16th in the nation.

Manuel joins New York after helping Brown to an Ivy League Championship and a NCAA Tournament berth in 2007. The New York, NY, native played in 13 games, recording two goals and one assist for the Bears. Brown let in only 16 goals during the 2007 campaign. Manuel, who attended The Browning School prior to enrolling in Brown, played in a total of 64 games over four seasons for the Bears. He was also an All-Ivy Honorable Mention in 2004 and previously trained with Olympique de Marseilles' U-18 squad in 2003.

JERROD GETS THE CALL

New York Red Bulls forward Jerrod Laventure has been called up to the Haitian National Team in preparation for the squad's pair of international friendlies against El Salvador on Jan. 26 and 29 in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti.

"I'm really excited about being selected," said Laventure, who leaves for Haiti today. "I think any soccer player's dream is to represent their country. It's a great opportunity, I'm looking forward to it and hopefully, I can rise to the occasion."

Laventure has never been called up to the Haitian National Team. The 25-year-old from Middle Island, NY, featured in one game for New York in 2007 while scoring five goals in reserve division action. In his rookie year in 2006, Laventure scored his first career MLS goal and assist while playing in five regular season games. His long-range strike against the Columbus Crew on July 19 in a 2-0 win earned him MLS Goal of the Week honors.

The 6-1, 170-pound forward was signed by the Red Bulls on April 12, 2006. Previously, Laventure played for Seton Hall University, where he was named to the All-Big East First Team after recording eight goals and six assists in his senior season in 2005.

Red Bull Reader wishes Jerrod Good Luck!!

RED BULL ACADEMY = FREE!!

Red Bull New York, in conjunction with the Red Bull Academy, announced today that going forward its Academy programs will be free of charge for all participants who are selected into the program. This is another positive step the club has taken to improve the overall success of th organization.

"Red Bull New York continues to commit its resources to the sport of soccer in the United States," said RBNY Sporting Director Jeff Agoos. "Red Bull is firmly committed to player development and helping support youth soccer organizations within the local community. This will be a significant investment that is in line with our vision of creating a world-class player development system here in the Greater New York area. For our Academy players, this is the first step towards the goal of playing professionally for the New York Red Bulls."

"By making the programs free of charge to all participants who are selected, Red Bull has eliminated the most significant barrier for talented soccer players to participate in a world-class program," said RBNY Academy Director Bob Montgomery. "Top soccer talent will only have to be selected to the program by our world-class coaching staff. Beyond that, all of the participation costs will be handled by Red Bull. We believe by eliminating the cost barrier, top players will be able to develop within our program with a goal of someday playing on the First Team for the New York Red Bulls."

The Red Bulls Academy and its grassroots programs presently operate out of the Red Bull New York corporate offices in Secaucus. Upon completion of the Red Bulls Training Facility in Hanover Township, New Jersey, the program will relocate to the world-class facility scheduled to have six soccer fields and a 45,000 square foot complex.

MLS SUPERDRAFT NETS RED BULLS THREE

Only time will tell how the first SuperDraft of the Jeff Agoos/Juan Carlos Osorio era will play out, but the club feels stongly about the three selections it made on the day.

Held in Baltimore, MD, Red Bull New York selected defender Eric Brunner of The Ohio State University with its second-round pick (16th overall), midfielder/defender Luke Sassano of the University of California - Berkeley with its third-round pick (34th) and midfielder David Roth of Northwestern University with its fourth-round pick (44th).

"Positionally, we fulfilled our needs today," said Red Bull New York Sporting Director Jeff Agoos. "We were able to select the players who we were looking for without having to move up in the selection order. Hopefully, these players can contribute to our 2008 campaign."

"I think we should be pleased with what we have," said Red Bulls head coach Juan Carlos Osorio. "It was difficult because there were not too many players in our eyes who could come and compete for a starting position. I think they have good qualities, and hopefully, if they can hold their ground with the professionals, then I think in the long run, we can develop them and they can become an important part of the team."

Here is a overview of the selections:

Brunner, a 6-4, 170-pound defender from Dublin, OH, earned a number of accolades during his college career. The 2008 adidas/MLS Combine MVP in January, Brunner was a NSCAA All-American and All-Region First Team selection in 2007 after scoring six goals and starting in all 26 games he played. Along with being the Buckeyes' captain in his senior year, Brunner was named on the First Team All-Big 10 squad and made the College Cup All-Tournament team.

Over his four-year career, Brunner played in 89 games, starting in 79 and scoring 10 goals and four assists. A graduate of Scioto High School in Ohio, Brunner also played for club team, Thunder FC, and under John Bluem at OSU.

"It's a great feeling to be selected by New York," Brunner said. "The Red Bulls are a great organization and they have shown a lot of commitment to MLS. I'm excited to come in and hopefully, improve the team."

Sassano, the team captain for UC-Berkeley in 2007, was named All Pac-10 Honorable Mention in 2005 and Pac-10 All-Academic Honorable Mention in 2007. Featuring in a total of 64 games (56 starts), the Huber Heights, OH native tallied a total of four goals and 19 assists during his four-year career for the Golden Bears, who were coached by Kevin Grimes.

Roth played for Tim Lenahan at Northwestern and went to Chaminade College Prep.

"The Red Bulls were my number one choice and I couldn't be any happier to be selected by them," Roth said. "It is a really great opportunity for me to play with some of the best players in MLS and I can't wait to get started."

ANOTHER SIGNING, ANOTHER 'KEEPER

Less than a week after re-signing goalkeeper Jon Conway, Red Bull New York announced today that it has signed a second goalkeeper in Zach Thornton. Per MLS and team policy, specific terms of the deal were not disclosed. The Red Bulls now have three goalkeepers on their roster, as Thornton joins Conway and Danny Cepero

Thornton will join New York for the second time in his career after being drafted in the 7th round (69th overall) by the club in the inaugural 1996 MLS Draft. The Edgewood, MD, native, who has earned a career 1.28 goals against average and an 111-71-33 record, was most recently a member of the Colorado Rapids, where he played in one game in 2007 before being waived on Nov. 28, 2007.

"We are excited to bring Zach into our squad as we head into the preseason," said Red Bull New York Sporting Director Jeff Agoos. "With his experience, he will immediately bring depth to the goalkeeper position."

Prior to joining the Rapids on March 2, 2007 after he was traded by the Chicago Fire for a conditional 2008 MLS Supplemental Draft pick, Thornton minded the nets in Chicago for eight seasons (1998-2003, 2005-2006). During his time there, Thornton played in a total of 215 games, starting in 212 and posting 57 shutouts. In 1998, Thornton was named the MLS Goalkeeper of the Year after he helped the Fire to win the MLS Cup in the club's first season. In-between his time with the Fire, Thornton also played for Portuguese side, Benfica, in 2004.

Thornton, 34, was acquired by Chicago in the 1997 MLS Expansion Draft after New York left him unprotected. During his two seasons in New York (1996-1997), Thornton made six appearances. The 6-3, 230-pound, former Loyola University (Maryland) standout has also earned eight caps with the U.S. Men's National Team.

PRESEASON PLANS COME INTO FOCUS

Red Bull New York today unveiled their preseason schedule for 2008, with trips planned to Los Angeles, Salzburg, and Charleston. The plans look similar to last season, with the big change being swapping the trip to Florida with a trip to Salzburg.

New York will practice at the facilities of its sister club, Red Bull Salzburg, while also competing in matches there before returning to the United States on March 7.

Conway, who was out of contract, was originally acquired from the San Jose Earthquakes on Dec. 5, 2005, in exchange for a 2006 fourth round MLS SuperDraft pick. He is coming off a 2007 campaign in which he posted a 1.10 goals against average – good for a tie for fourth in MLS – after playing in 14 games, starting in 12 and earning four shutouts. The former Rutgers University product also started in both of the Red Bulls’ playoff games against the New England Revolution last season.

In 2006, Conway, 30, had a career-year, leading the League with a 1.00 goals against average and posting a 7-3-2 record, including five shutouts.
