FEATURE: Cristian Espinoza adapting quickly to MLS

San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Cristian Espinoza has played at many different levels across the world, from Club Huracan in Argentina to playing for Argentina’s U-20 side during the 2015 U-20 World Cup in New Zealand. Now at only 24 years old he is adding another challenge to his journey: playing in Major League Soccer.

Acquired from Spain’s Villarreal on a season-long loan on Jan. 2, 2019, Espinoza promises to give his all during his time with the Quakes.

“The first objective for the group and for myself is to have a good season,” explained the Argentine through a translator last week.
