eMLS Cup winner Didychrislito discusses his \u201cdream\u201d win and FIFA 21 meta eMLSChris \u2018Didychrislito\u2019 Holly says it\u2019s a \u201cdream come true\u201d to clinch the eMLS Cup title and round off his FIFA 21 treble \u2014 an achievement the New York City star notched in the most exciting way possible, downing friend George Adamou in the Hudson River derby last weekend. Holly knew the treble was \u201cquite possible\u201d at the eMLS Cup. What the FIFA 21 champion didn\u2019t bank on, he told Dexerto soon after lifting the North American trophy, was just how dominant he would be on the road to his third piece of shiny silverware for the year. All Didychrislito had in his mind was playing good FIFA, but didn\u2019t dare believe he could achieve \u201cthe dream\u201d treble. That was, until he hit double digits against the Last Chance Qualifier winner AlanAvi in the top 8. Picking apart his FC Dallas opponent in an 11-3 thrashing gave him the shot of confidence he used to steamroll to the finish line. \u201cWhen I won that first one, I started to feel pretty confident. I started to think \u2018yeah I can do this, I can get that third,\u2019 and that helped,\u201d the New York star said in an exclusive interview with Dexerto. \u201cI knew that I was on my A-game\u2026 the goals just kept coming, and I just kept scoring.\u201d \u201cIt was a big task \u2014 everyone wants to win \u2014 but I won, so I\u2019m happy.\u201d \ud83c\udfc6 @didychrislito wins @eMLS Cup 2021. #eMLS What a night for @NYCFC \ud83d\udc4f pic.twitter.com\/5vLhtOvD6i \u2014 Dexerto Sports (@DexertoFC) March 21, 2021 eMLS Cup New York derby The win was made all the sweeter, the New York City star continued, by the dramatic matchup dished up in the Grand Final. Didychrislito found himself facing off against close friend and New York Red Bulls rival George \u2018G_Adamou\u2019 Adamou for the elusive eMLS Cup crown. \u201cIt was the Hudson River derby, so obviously you always want to get the win\u2026 and then George is also one of my good friends in the scene. We play a lot of Warzone together! We even went [on a] holiday together two years ago,\u201d he laughed. \u201cA bittersweet feeling, because he\u2019s such a good friend. On the pitch though, it\u2019s all about winning. Thankfully though, I won. I think he\u2019ll understand.\u201d What a performance from @didychrislito. 6-4. #eMLS \u2014 Dexerto Sports (@DexertoFC) March 21, 2021 Not a fan of the FIFA 21 meta Even more impressively, Holly dropped a bombshell admission \u2014 the eMLS champion \u201cdoesn\u2019t really like\u201d this year\u2019s FIFA 21 metagame. It\u2019s ironic, considering how well his 2021 has gone so far. \u201cIf I\u2019m being honest, I don\u2019t love it. It feels like you don\u2019t need too much skill. It\u2019s just dash, nutmeg, then the shot cancels, and skill move cancels. It\u2019s not that realistic, in my eyes,\u201d the champ said when asked about the FUT 2021 meta. \u201cThat being said, to be the best you have to adapt and abuse the meta, even if you don\u2019t like them much. I try to do that every year, and this time it\u2019s paying off.\u201d Eye on the next prize And now, Didychrislito turns his attention to the next challenge. The eMLS Cup champ steps right into an illustrious eWorld Cup battle this weekend, with the North American FIFA 21 event\u2019s round qualifiers. Beyond that, the Haitian star is already preparing for another trial: defending his treble of titles. \u201cI\u2019m ready to play with that pressure, for sure,\u201d the New York City FC star said. \u201cI\u2019ve always been the guy to beat in the league, for the most part, so next year I\u2019ll just keep doing what I\u2019ve been doing. Hopefully, I can win it all over again.\u201d Ready to re-live Didychrislito\u2019s eMLS win?
