Michael Bradley’s reliance on youth movement pays off in Red Bulls’ win over Revolution

Youth movement has taken on a new meaning for Red Bull New York.   When Michael Bradley took over as head coach of the MLS club, everyone expected that he would be willing to give some playing time to younger players, but nobody had it in the cards that he would start three players who are so young that they can’t vote yet.   In fact, up until the Red Bulls’ season opener against Orlando City — when Julian Hall, 17, Adri Mehmeti, 16, and Matthew Dos Santos, 17, appeared in the Starting XI — no club in MLS history had ever started three players 17 or younger.
