Here are your nominees for the Etihad Player of the Month for March 2022.
Talles Magno Â
The Brazilian forward has started the campaign in mid-season form and found consistent early success in the Concacaf Champions League – registering three goals in five games.Â
One of those strikes came in March’s meeting with Comunicaciones and helped NYCFC advance on aggregate. In MLS, Talles was a central figure during the Club’s 4-1 win against CF Montréal – registering a goal and an assist. Â
A player with an abundance of potential to realize, his early form already has teammates and staff alike excited. Â
Maxi Moralez Â
The veteran playmaker shows no signs of slowing down after a memorable 2021 campaign in which he helped the team achieve its first-ever MLS Cup. Â
A creative fulcrum in the final third, Moralez also added his name to the scoresheet in March with a memorable volley against Comunicaciones. A leader on the field, his play in the final third and hard running off the ball continue to be a major asset to the team. Â
Alex CallensÂ
A key presence at the heart of the backline, Alex Callens has continued to grow at the start of the 2022 campaign. Â
The defender has helped NYCFC navigate some tricky trips away in both MLS and Concacaf Champions League and provided a security at the back that allowed his teammates in the final third to shine.
