New York City FC 3 - 0 Charleston - CCC'15

CAROLINA CHALLENGE CUP 2015


Game 3


New York City FC 3 - 0 Charleston

So thats the end of pre season. our first ever pre season has been completed and were heading on our way to the first game in our MLS lives. Out of all the pre seasons ive been a part of and of course all of them ive seen whilst being a fan of the European leagues i must say ours seems to have been very successful and this was shown in the last game.

After starting with a strong line up with the ability to change up positions on the field i think we got to see one of the stronger line up's weve seen in the pre season. With good impact subs to see out the game i think we can feel very positive about the sqaud and the depth available to Kreis.

David Villa had a great half as he managed to turn defenders inside out and this was clear for all to see. Along with Villa we had a strong force up front with Nemec. His large build allowed him to hold the ball up well and play balls to Mix and Grabavoy for more forward and attacking passers.

In the second half i was happily suprised with the impact Khiry Shelton had on the game. He will certainly come into his element coming off the bench with his speed and willingness to chase the ball will make him a very well used substitute when it comes to game time. Also the combination play in the middle of the park really was a joy to behold. Mix yet again claiming man of the match (Certainly the rightful winner) as he managed to top the performance off with a stunning strike too.

I must say we also were very well behaved and didnt let the stupidity from the Charleston players effect the way we played and the way we presented ourselves on the field, something that hopefully continues into our season.

Overall we must look at how successful our first ever pre season has been and must be happy and excited for the upcoming games for what i hope to be a very long and successful MLS Career!

Lets go NYCFC!!!!
