What went right in 2021:
Once again, Alexander Callens provided a stable, consistent presence in the New York City FC backline. For years now, he and Maxime Chanot have formed a defending duo that has been reliable if not elite. Callens’s ability to play with the ball at his feet has always been an important element to NYCFC’s ability to maintain possession, with 2021 being no different.
