Midfielder Luciano Acosta is best known for his creativity with the ball. His ability to dribble past defenders and deliver key passes inside the penalty box has made him one of D.C. United’s best playmakers.
However, in his last six games with the club, Acosta has proven to be more than just a dribbler. With Wayne Rooney playing as a striker, Acosta has had much more freedom to make runs down the midfield. He has enjoyed such freedom greatly.
His pace and ability to create scoring opportunities through traffic has made Acosta a nightmare to mark for opposing defenders.
