FC Tucson defender Marco Costa brings a rare level of experience to USL League Two, and his leadership ability makes him a natural fit as the side's captain.
James Kelley Special to the Arizona Daily Star In the FC Tucson’s men’s first season back in USL League Two, the team has turned to veteran leadership that’s more experienced than your average college player.
The 26-year old has been playing in the United States for less than a year, and it was his first goal stateside. In the fall he played for Lynn University in Boca Rotan, Florida, as a junior.“He had a successful season at his college back in Florida, but he’s played professional soccer back in Italy, so obviously he’s quite experienced in a variety of levels,” Biagi said.
“I lived alone for two years back home in Italy so stay away from my family wasn’t a big problem,” Costa said. “The most difficult thing was to switch my mentality because here it’s more physical. Sometimes you have to think in a different way so that’s a big difference, but I got used pretty fast.”“Most of the players are from college, but in the USL Two you can find the best player college so the quality is very high,” Costa said.
Biagi raved about Costa’s versatility and expects him to continue logging lots of minutes. Costa has enjoyed the experience so far.
