Finding Connections

It’s never easy to come into a new team and a new league and hit the ground running from the jump, but Alexandru Mitriță has been impressive in both of his appearances to date in City blue.

The Romanian was arguably City’s most dangerous attacking player vs. D.C. finding pockets of space between the D.C. lines, linking up with Maxi Moralez well and showing his willingness to take defenders on in one-v-ones.

Mitriță almost came up with the winning goal, too, with a dangerous, swirling free-kick which Hamid could only beat away with his fists.

Alexandru will only get better with more time and more sessions with his new teammates but this was another exciting signpost of what he can bring to this NYCFC team in 2019.
