New York City FC‘s run as of late hasn’t been up to par, nor has the squad met it’s expectations so far. If there’s one player that has met his expectations, even exceed them, it’s NYCFC’s left-back Ronald Matarrita.
The Costa Rican native came in the squad during the off-season and was brought in to be a rotational player. Since coming over, Matarrita has shown a lot of promise and has proved to Patrick Vieira that he’s no fluke. In four of the five games in the 2016 campaign, Matarrita has gone the distance playing the full 90 minutes, even putting a couple shots on goal.
