"We started [playing together] last year and felt really strong together - we had some good games, we continued to work on it, Haak said."
"I feel very comfortable in either position, and one thing I've taken away is to always be ready for whatever the team needs."
Justin Haak, a rising star from NYCFC's academy, has taken on a prominent defensive role after James Sands' exit. Making his debut in 2019, Haak established himself as a key player, having started every game this season and captained during the US Open Cup. He emphasizes adaptability, having shifted from midfield to defense alongside Thiago Martins, helping maintain a sturdy defense with six clean sheets. The new dynamics in the team reflect both Haak's growth and his commitment to supporting his teammates, creating a strong bond on and off the pitch.
