Andrea Pirlo and David Villa faced the media at a press conference in New York City on Thursday afternoon ahead of Sunday’s Home Opener versus DC United.
The captain and reigning MLS MVP spoke on a number of subjects, including his first impressions on the team’s newest Designated Player, Maxi Moralez.
El Guaje had high praise for his new teammate, comparing him to the man sat beside him at the media conference.
Villa said: “I think he’s a very good player who has understood the system so fast.
“When he has the ball, he makes something happen, so I need to be ready.
