New York Red Bulls Head Coach Jesse Marsch is looking to improve upon the team's playing style during preseason camp.

"We’re trying to build a bit tactically and with some of the concepts that we have from what we’ve built the last two years," Marsch said. "I think there’s new steps to take forward. One of them is the specifics of when to press, how to press and when to counter-press."

Marsch said that the team will look to build gradually during preseason, hoping to help limit injuries and fatigue with a very important game just a month away -- the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Red Bull Arena on February 22.

With Sacha Kljestan and Luis Robles away at January Camp for the U.S. Men's National Team, Marsch said the team will work in some of the younger players to start, which will help in the long run.

"This is the first phase and we won’t get our full group together for a couple of weeks yet, so that’s a bit of a challenge," the head coach said. "But I think it will be good to integrate some of the young guys – slowly – and then once some of our big players get into this, they’ll be a little more comfortable for what to expect. And the level will rise, naturally.

"But I thought it was a really good first day," Marsch said.
