David was crowned MLS MVP on Tuesday morning at an event in Manhattan.
Here’s the full transcript of his acceptance speech…
Today is one of the biggest days of my career. Two years and a half ago when I decided to come here some people thought maybe I had come here to find a home and retire. I tried every day to show to the people with my body that I come here to be strong and competitive - to show that I want to grow my career and to follow through, to make history.
This trophy it means a lot to me because for this trophy, the community of players chose me, the coaches and the journalists choose me.
