He also says that the quality of the MLS is well above the second Bundesliga, and perhaps a bit surprisingly, NYCFC is the most professional club he's played for (and he's played even for Borussia Mönchengladbach). At the beginning, he was surprised by the media presence even in the dressing room right after the game, but is used to it now. He says that the fans are better than in Germany, because they are more positive, whereas it's very critical in Germany. Loves to play at the YS.
Of fellow players, Ugo Okoli and Andre Rawls praise Ring's skills, tactical and positional sense, experience, and his influence on and off the pitch, saying he's a joker but also very serious about his work. Ring himself says it's great to train with Pirlo, and how easy it's to see why they call him the Maestro. Good news for the NYCFC fans is that he and his family enjoy NYC very much.
