New York Red Bulls forward Mike Grella writes about his love of the game – and particularly of scoring goals – in a piece published in The Players’ Tribune this week.

Perhaps most pointedly, he speaks of his return to the States, finding a home with the Red Bulls and his amazement at the growth of the game in MLS stadiums across the country.
