New York City FC at Columbus Crew: Spotlight on David Villa

David Villa is the consummate Captain and that is proven at every training session and on game days.

It shows itself also after a loss. Yes, the forward scored twice, but Villa’s focus was squarely on the team and the disappointment of a 3-2 defeat to the Columbus Crew SC Saturday night

It was Villa’s second brace of the season (he also scored twice against Toronto FC in a 2-2 draw on March 13) and sixth of his NYCFC career.

“We are frustrated for the result,” Villa said. “We tried to play very good, but I think this is the best team we played in our conference.
