Los Angeles Football Club has won each of its six major league football season openers.
Making it seven in a row will not only break the MLS record set of Dallas from 2012-017, for this there will be nothing before the club: due to not having Carlos Vela on the field.
The first face of the LAFC franchise went out of a disgusting pitch in Ohio’s Columbus, falling less to repeat as MLS Cup champion with his companions, soon the presence of 35 -year -old forward remains the main inside the locker room despite his absence through the presence and, now, now, in the match day 1 match against BMO Stadium.
As the organization and the free-agent star continued to interact on the terms for the silk-declared silk-declared mexican, no matter where it is, the captain of LAFC is present in a way or in another way.
“We are in touch with him,” Spanish midfielder Ili Sanchez said wearing black and gold before his third season. “He is asking about the dynamic of the presiden, so obviously it is different because you don’t keep it on the field, but we still have his things in the locker room.”
If the parties do not agree and the goods of the Vela are eventually removed from the LAFC practice feature in the premises of the Cal State La, it will be reborn in many ways.
In 2023, Vela first appeared in all 34 MLS regular-season games, assisting nine goals and 12 in league play, while her attacker fellow, Dennis Buanga, thrilled to claim the golden boot.
Minus Vela, who has contributed more than one -third of the targets made by LAFC since 2018, is likely to be important in stopping the Buanga, opposing the teams, starting with the sounders.
The 29 -year -old French attacker said, “There are other players who can make a difference.” “But Carlos’s foot is going to miss on the field, of course.”
LAFC head coach Steve Cherundolo, who signed a multi-year expansion in December, would have to compete with a roster, which played half an MLS minutes from last year’s team, which set a league record for the total games played in a wide variety of competitions.
Even the deep squad had to change its strategy to avoid the 53-game marathon, sometimes going away from the aggressive game model that is basic for LAFC’s approach since 2018, which is a less block and more practical style on the side of a lower block and kaltwar.
The 2024 group found an injection of young talents, including the Mexican Fullback Omar Campos, replacing the Diego Palasios of Ecuador, hoping to play important minutes, and venezuela’s Winger David Martinez was distinguished, which was set to arrive in La on Thursday.
For the newcomers who have not played with Vela, their effects should still be felt around the club whether he returns.
“Carlos was a great proposer to the winning culture,” said Fullback Ryan Hallingshead. “laughter. The cameradary. Leadership. A lot begins with Carlos. ,
To hang in the club with an unknown position of Vela for 2024, other players have stepped to fill their leadership. The LAFC World Cup winner was brought to the goalkeeper Hugo Loris, whose resume speaks for himself. Meanwhile, familiar faces such as Holling’shead, Sanchez, Buanga, Aaron Long and Jesus Murillo said that they had accepted the responsibility of filling the zero.
Starting from January 21, when LAFC’s presidents were running, the coaching staff focused on reviving the huge press of the club, causing large -scale disruption to the opponents when it was effectively employed and legs to execute the players.
The Hallingshead said: “This year will be very much back in the LAFC style of football, the way we want to play, to make a lot of recovery between matches to make sure that when we are in the pitch, we are playing everything we want to do on 100%, no holding that did not happen last year.”
Parad-Down Schedule-Koi ConcacAF Champions Cup, Campions Cup and potentially no US Open Cup-not favorable through May, when the games will come from Saturday to Saturday.
First closed: Seattle.
The last time they met, LAFC defeated the sounders 1-0 in the Lumen Field on a Buanga Screams to proceed in the final of the Western Conference.
Seattle’s head coach Brian Shametzer ensured his players to remind the players of Gut Panch, which they arrived for the first day of the Prince Camp in November.
“That goal is still sticking to me and I am reminding the people of the opportunity we have lost,” Shametzer said, “and yes it’s a rivalry.”
Cherundolo agreed, describing the LAFC-Cital Dynamic, which began as a “super healthy rivalry”, with a black and gold win at Prashant Northwest on Opening Day in 2018.
Cherundolo said, “They want to defeat the team that defeated him at home in the playoffs last year.” “So I understand his inspiration. My players will understand and we will also have answers. ,
Without Vela, they will have no choice to move steps.
