Thierry Henry and the New York Red Bulls in Montreal (Kickoff 7:30pm today)

Henry in press conference in Montreal.
Today, the city will have a great appetizer for the next season start in MLS. Not only the best forward of the last 10 years in world football is here in Montreal, but with him is also the most talented team in the Major League Soccer nowadays.

Montreal Impact will play a friendly match against the New York Red Bulls and it will be interesting, after loosing the series against Vancouver Whitecaps in NCC, to see how the team is this time preparing their lines against an elite MLS team.

The Red Bulls are in town and bring the most offensive minded rosters in the circuit, let me present the players that make this well oiled machine be the leaders of the Eastern Conference.

Tim Ream
Tim Ream #5, central back and two times captain of the US Men National Team is the bet for the future of the defensive line in the big apple. Exciting player with one of the best passing completion ratio on his team.

Joel Lindpierre #20, left attacking midfield, last year Red Bulls MVP, creates spaces very easily and offers a skillful left leg that normally overplay most of league defenders.

Dane Richards #19, right midfield, 26 times Jamaican captain, led NY in game winning goals last season and is one the fastest players in the league.

De Rosario
Dwayne De Rosario #11, offensive midfield, 55 times captain of Canada's National Team, 5 times MLS All Star and MLS cup MVP in 2007. DeRo is one of the most awarded players in MLS and is the most recent acquisition of the Red Bulls, coming from his born city Toronto, in order to set the plays for Henry and the rest of the team.

Rafa Marquez #4, central back, ex-FC Barcelona, winner of the record 6 titles in 2009 including UEFA Champions league and La Liga title. The most recognized Mexican captain playing the FIFA World Cup in 2002 Japan and Corea, 2006 Germany and 2010 in South Africa brings all the experience in the defensive line creating a great mix with Tim Ream.

Juan Agudelo #17, the youngest player ever to score with US National Team, the 18 years old has been a sensation lately in the US and the Red Bulls scoring spectacular goals and helping Henry to set the show in the front of the big apple squad.

This is just a short list of great players to watch today in the Saputo Stadium.
