Valenzuela will see several familiar faces when Crew SC takes on Atlanta

Going through his first Major League Soccer season, Columbus Crew SC’s fullback Milton Valenzuela is facing new experiences every week. Teams he’s never competed against, players he doesn’t know much about and stadiums he’s not familiar with have all become part of the 19 year old’s journey in the league.

This Wednesday, however, Valenzuela will certainly feel somewhat of a taste of his past when the Black & Gold host Atlanta United at MAPFRE Stadium.

The second-year franchise has tight connections with Valenzuela’s native Argentina as the club is coached by the legendary Tata Martino and has as many as five players who competed in the country’s first division recently.
