Will we see a different New York City FC than the first two games played? It's possible. Domenec Torrent was clear when he presented the match against LAFC. LAFC plays with the 4-3-3 offensive form, but at the same time the City's next opponent has shown great balance on the pitch. The team runs, each player keeps the position on the field and they make a high pressing in order not to get the opposing team back. New York City FC will therefore have to take the field with a combative but also very careful attitude. Torrent is oriented to deploy the team as LAFC.

The City coach wants to play using the same weapons, 4-3-3 but he also asks his great intensity. This will be the main key of the match. Torrent expects this from the team: be careful, pressing high, pass the ball with the goal of scoring. Only by playing this way can New York City hope to bring home the three points. Clearly, it will also be crucial to score goals. 

In this New York City FC must improve a lot. New York strikers are still dry after the first two games played. At the moment, only Ring and Ofori managed to find the goal. If New York wants to start winning and live a season as a protagonist, it needs its attackers, otherwise the good things the team can do are in vain.
