SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) David Villa, New York City FC (Q: "Another piece of responsibility is that you are actually the club's first signing."):

"Yes, it's a real honour that the people who have formed the club have thought of me. It's definitely one of the main reasons why I liked the project so much. It's an honour to be the first player and the flag-bearer of New York City as they begin life in the MLS. I'm really keen to do the best I can, take on board that extra responsibility and prove my worth."
