David Villa

The former Valencia, Athletico Madrid and Barcelona player enjoyed a relatively successful debut season in the MLS, despite NYCFC’s failings in the league.
The former Spain international ranked netted 18 goals and provided 8 assists and is considered New York’s main source of goals.
Villa believes New York are in a stronger position than last year because of recent additions to their squad. “This year is different. We started the first day with these good players, other players, with the team more compact. I think it’s important,” Villa said. “The preseason has been good. We have a lot of time yet until the first game. We hope to be ready for the [opener on the] 6th of March.”
