Mix Diskerud Thriving Under Patrick Vieira

A year ago, everything was new for Mix Diskerud.

The Norwegian-born midfielder was in a new city, a new league and with new teammates.

Diskerud was also playing a new position.

The result was some growing pains, both for the United States international as well as New York City FC.

But now there’s a comfort level for the 25-year-old, who scored the first goal in Club history in a 1-1 draw with Orlando City SC a year ago. Diskerud has adapted to living in New York City, to his teammates and the challenges of playing in Major League Soccer.

And, in the first month of his second season, Diskerud is thriving under Patrick Vieira, who has him playing in the center of the field rather than on the wing.
