NYCFC Ping Pong: Kwadwo Poku vs. Mix Diskerud

Ghanaian midfielder shows improved defensive work rate

  • This is a big win for Poku-- he went the distance without fading down the stretch.
  • Comparing Mix's style of play to Bjorn Borg is tempting, but lazy: in truth, it was Poku who best demonstrated that trademark backhand power.
  • As you can see, even when playing in his natural position, Mix still struggles on occasion.
  • At the 1:59 mark, the audio is briefly muted after Mix's faults on his serve. This takes place when the camera happens to be at hi's back.
