Victor Vazquez doesn’t have to look far when searching for a player comparable to Federico Higuain, the dominant attacking midfielder of the Columbus Crew. “He’s always trying to get the ball, to make the game, to play to the forwards and he’s running everywhere, you know. The 33-year-old native of Argentina, who scored nine goals and added 14 assists during the regular season, will work to unlock pockets in midfield. The best way to counteract that, Vazquez said, is to move the ball as fast a possible to close any gaps. It helps, he said, that Higuain, Meram and Santos “don’t like to defend that much,” Vazquez said.
