Playing with Thierry Henry turned Bradley Wright-Phillips into the MLS 's top goal scorer last season . The duo had chemistry and the result was one of those seasons that will be hard to beat , with the Englishman scoring 27 goals in 32 games and winning the league 's golden boot . Doing it again might be a lot tougher . Henry , the French international who brought immense talent and recognition to the league , has retired and Wright-Phillips is going to have to go through an adjustment period . Bradley Wright-Phillips ( left ) did n't have a shot in the Red Bulls ' season opener against Sporting Kansas City . Thierry Henry retired at the end of the season meaning Wright-Phillips has a new strike partner . The Red Bulls have revamped their roster and Henry is n't the only one gone . Australian international Tim Cahill has departed along with fellow midfielder Eric Alexander . In the season opening tie against Sporting Kansas City , Wright-Phillips did n't have a shot . ' I do n't have to readjust my game , ' the 30-year-old Englishman said after the Red Bulls practiced for their home opener against D.C. United on Sunday . ' I am always going to play the same way I always have . The players that have come in , I 'm trying to learn like I did with Thierry . I learned how he played and I learned to play off him . I 'll try to do the same with the new guys . ' The additions this season are midfielders Sacha Kljestan and Felipe Martins and striker Mike Grella . But in the 1-1 season-opening draw , the chemistry was lacking up front . 'On the day of the game I put a lot of it down to me , ' Wright-Phillips said . ' I was a bit too eager to get behind . I could have done a little bit better with my runs . It 's the first game , I do n't really lose my mind after a first game of the season . ' If there is a difference this season it 's the style of the Red Bulls ' play under new coach Jesse Marsch . There is an emphasis on moving the ball quickly with everybody contributing . A lot went through Henry in past seasons . The New York Red Bulls drew 1-1 with Sporting Kansas City in their first MLS game of the season . 'For us , it was almost a little unrealistic having a guy like Thierry on the team , ' Red Bulls captain and midfielder Dax McCarty said . 'He was a little of a wild card , a joker . If you are losing or in a bad situation , you could just play him the ball and hope that something magical happened , which more often than not did . That 's gone . I think this is a team that can hurt you in numerous ways and that 's going to be a big shift this season . McCarty said the team could have helped Wright-Phillips more in the opening game . 'We did n't create enough chances for Bradley , ' McCarty said . ' I think he will admit he can do a better job making better runs and we have a do a better job of looking for him and finding him when he does make those good runs . That is the thing that is going to make us successful this season . Wright-Phillips is n't heading into the season thinking : how does he top last year ? He has set a goal target that he is not disclosing . If he meets it , he 'll set another one . Whatever he does , Wright-Phillips is n't interested in heading back to England , where he played for Manchester City , Southampton , Plymouth Argyle , Charlton Athletic and Brentford before coming to the Red Bulls in July 2013 . ' I do n't want to go back to Europe . I 've said that several times , ' Wright-Phillips said . 'There were one or two whispers that I heard about but it does n't interest me . I 'm playing for the New York Red Bulls and I love living in New Jersey . ' Wright-Phillips says he has no desire of coming back to England and is enjoying life in the USA .
