Villa: We Want to Fight for MLS Cup

Preseason is days away and David Villa is already setting his sights high for 2017.

The reigning MLS MVP spearheaded his team’s run to the Playoffs in 2016 but he wants even more from NYCFC in the club’s third season.

In a Facebook Live Q&A with Rachel Bonnetta and Stuart Holden for FOX Soccer, David spoke of his love for the league and hailed the impact of Head Coach Patrick Vieira in his first campaign.

David told Fox Soccer: “The objective clearly is to fight for the MLS Cup – the good thing in this league is that all 22 teams start the season and have a chance to win the league.
