Eric Alexander - FC Cincinnati

Petke tabs midfield duo pf Alexander, McCarty as key to defeating D.C. United.

With a 2-0 home victory in the rearview mirror, the New York Red Bulls now face the task of protecting their well-deserved lead Saturday with a trip south to take on D.C. United.

“Our game plan is not going to change to start this game,” Petke said. “Our game plan can perhaps be tweaked during the game depending on what goes on, but we are going to stick with what gotten us results over the last month, month-and-a-half, which is compact, solid defense, limiting space in the middle and looking to exploit when we win the ball, looking to go forward.”
 
That philosophy is a recent one for the Red Bulls, whose change in formation toward the end of the season saw midfielders Dax McCarty and Eric Alexander shift into a holding role. Since the swap, the Red Bulls have improved what used to be one of the league’s most highly criticized defenses.

Alexander traded to the Montreal Impact.

The Montreal Impact and the New York Red Bulls came to terms on a major transaction on Tuesday. The bleu-blanc-noir acquired Cameroon international left back Ambroise Oyongo, U.S. international midfielder Eric Alexander, allocation money and an international player spot for the 2015 season from the Red Bulls in exchange for midfielder Felipe and the first spot in the MLS allocation ranking.
 
Alexander, 26, is an American midfielder embarking on his sixth season in MLS. He's scored eight goals and added 20 assists in 137 games played, including 105 starts, totaling almost 9,000 minutes. After having played for both FC Dallas and the Portland Timbers, he played all 34 games in each of the last two seasons with the Red Bulls, amassing a career high of nine assists last season. He's also made nine playoff appearances over his career, including six starts.
 
At the international level, Alexander was twice called in by the American national team, playing his first match with the USMNT on January 22, 2011 against Chile.
