Atlanta United lost two of its biggest on-field leaders this past offseason when Leandro Gonzalez Pirez and Michael Parkhurst both departed. The lack of leadership was felt throughout the squad for the majority of 2020. In need of someone to step up into that type of spiritual and vocal role, Franco Escobar slowly morphed into someone who could be relied upon to not only perform on the field but motivate those around him.
