Antonio Nocerino has suffered some difficulties with an injured calf at the start of the season. After leaving in the 17th minute during the match against the New York Red Bulls, Nocerino came back for the full 90 minutes against Los Angeles. The focus isn’t on him: it’s on how he can help his team.
“It is important that the team stays 100%,” Nocerino said. “This helps me. I work to help the team, it’s important.”
Nocerino has settled into his role in the midfield. He can switch between attack and defense seamlessly, working alongside offensive players like Kaká and defensive players like Servando Carrasco.
