CARSON, Calif. – Jose Villarreal introduced himself to Major League Soccer with a world-class goal that set the league abuzz with anticipation about the youngster’s potential.
With a single left-footed shot blast into the top corner, the 18-year-old seemed poised to begin his ascent as one of the promising young forwards in the United States. However, five years on from that stunning finish, Villarreal is still fighting for his place on the team and determined not to let the mistakes of the past let his potential go to waste.
At 23-years-old, Villarreal says it’s now or never.
