Despite some consistency issues, there is no doubt that this incarnation of New York City FC is the best in its short history. And DP midfielder Maxi Moralez is clearly a huge part of why that is. Since signing with the club in February, the diminutive Argentinian has been a lethal playmaker for the Blues in the midfield — you know, everything that fellow DP Andrea Pirlo was supposed to be — and has amassed 3 goals and 7 assists in 20 appearances thus far in 2017.
On Sunday against the New York Red Bulls, Moralez took the field with Yangel Herrera and Alex Ring alongside him, a midfield combination that had yet to be defeated while playing together.
