As NYCFC and Patrick Vieira continue their overhaul on the squad, they have brought another new face to the Big Apple. After long speculation, Boca Juniors‘ midfielder Federico Bravo has completed a season long loan deal to NYCFC.
The 22-year old was officially introduced on the day of NYCFC’s 2-0 preseason victory against HB Køge. When the rumors of Bravo broke out, they talked about his defensive abilities on the line. NYCFC’s main concern has been the defense and they’ve done an exceptional job at fixing it.
While many thought Bravo would be brought on as a center back, it seems that he is best utilized as a defensive midfielder.
