The last week has been bittersweet for New York City FC. The Pigeons won on the road, beating FC Cincinnati 1-0 and shocking fans at TQL Stadium. At the same time, the team’s former captain, Maxime Chanot, announced his retirement due to injury. It is sad to see the center-back leave the game, but sometimes that is life. And for the Boys in Blue, their life is football, and the fight to earn more points and climb up the Eastern Conference Standings continues.
NYCFC will battle it out with D.C. United this weekend, aiming to have better luck against their opposition compared to their previous meeting.
