From Messi to Lucho, Dado Valenzuela follows good examples | The Pathway

Valenzuela has a pretty good example to learn from in 2023 Landon Donovan MLS MVP Luciano Acosta.

“The best advice a coach has given me is to be consistent,” Valenzuela explained. “The best players in our league like Lucho – just consistently every game either scoring, assisting, contributing.”

Valenzuela has been just that for FCC 2 this season, showing his growth with six goals in three appearances. He scored a hat trick against Philadelphia Union II in April and just recently repeated the feat in a 3-1 win over Orlando City B.

Whether it’ll be helping FCC 2 try to make a run to a trophy or assisting the first team in the MLS Cup playoffs, Valenzuela is up for the challenge. Just like a few years ago when he was gaining notoriety, the midfielder is ready to keep climbing through the ranks.

There are now just a lot more eyes on him.
