The heroes defenders in Shaqr
La Galaxy does not know how to win. Or at least, they are custom How to win. While last season with Carson, who won the Sixth MLS Cup in the league, they are now making a different kind of history. It does not win over the first six games of the season, a 2-1 defeat to Orlando City means that the galaxy achieved the worst start in the campaign of any defender MLS hero ever. They do not put a star over the top of that.
Initially, injuries were used in front of Riqui Puig and Joseph Painsil as an interpretation. The departure of striker Dijan Jovigic, Juston Bruceman and Mark Deljado as factors were also seen as factors. This talent deficit has undoubtedly contributed to the sudden fall of the MLS winners, but increasingly it seems as if other things were playing.
For one reason, the balance of the attack is suspended. Although another 21 pass in the last third of Orlando on Saturday, the galaxy had only six shots and only 1.03 in the expected targets (XG) compared to 1.58 visitors. Paintsil appeared his first appearance in the season off the bench, but the Ghanaian still lacks intensity. 28 minutes coincided on the field with Orlando’s return from 1-0 to win 2-1.
Defensive, the galaxy was never the most firm difference, even at its best. Their defensive record was only the eighth in the West last season. Previously, they created enough in the attack to hide this. This is no longer the case, and he certainly does not help goalkeepers John McCarthy and Novak Mikovic alternately throwing one in their network, with terrible mistakes in recent weeks.
Marco Rios was unable to repeat the natural creativity of Bayawi. His work ethics were also a problem. Gabriel Beck retreats to his left foot often. Christian Ramirez is fighting for service. Emiro Garcés was not the same player this season. The galaxy can barely deliver a longer list of problems to fix it when it comes back. gram
Lionel Messi: Super Sub?
We have seen Lionel Messi playing all kinds of stunning things in his era with Inter Miami, but the Sabbath witnessed that the Argentine fills a role that he often was not asked to play in his career. It was an alternative.
Messi was dealing with what Inter Miaami called the “low -grade” headquarters and a case with his left thigh. The injury prevented him from traveling to South America for the World Cup qualifiers in Argentina against Brazil and Uruguay, and also kept him on the bench in Saturday’s match in Miami against Philadelphia Union.
Any hopes that all of that time on the margin would reduce Messi’s effectiveness, of course, was very wrong. The World Cup winner scored within two minutes of entering the match, as he ended what could be the winning goal from Luis Suarez.
The idea of using Messi as Super-SUB is absurd, so it is close to the age of 40 … or is it? I noticed Opta After the match, which is about 1.6 goals per 90 minutes, through all its 113 manifestations, as a branch of the club and the country.
If you are like me, it is likely that both numbers are transported. Not only is the percentage of ridiculous goals for every 90, but it was a star for a long time, it is somewhat difficult to imagine Messi who came out of the seat several times. I think this is going when you play more than 1000 games. AA
San Diego, please forgive us
It is time for MLS experts to stop reducing the expansion teams. Many critics (including ourselves) felt that San Diego FC would struggle in their first campaign. After all, they brought a few players who have proven in MLS and rented a Mikey Varas to drive the road.
Instead, SDFC has a charming start, tends on new faces to gain results even with large names such as Hirving Lozano and Marcus Instvartsen in missing due to injuries.
On Saturday, it was a dream for the club, as his victory at home for the first time to third in the Western conference ranking. Not only did San Diego win at home, but did so on LAFC, a team that everyone expects to become a competitor. In addition, Luzano, the franchise face and a major part of the team’s structure, returned from the injury with a late veil.
After promoting the newsletter
San Diego 3-0 increased after 40 minutes with goals from Christopher McVy, Oni Valcari and Alex Moten-three players from most of the football fans in North America before the season, but they all played part of the successful launch of the club on the field. Two goals were eliminated immediately before the end of the first half in order to finish the completion too much, but there were many bright points in the opening 40 minutes.
“I hope everyone in San Diego will notice the efforts of the players, and the quality of the men. I thought they were getting out of the limelight. I had a cry of terror,” Faras said.
You have thought after great seasons for the first time from LAFC and ST. Louis City, MLS observers will learn their lesson. SDFC may be one of the last MLS expansion teams, but they already appear that they do not need to be classified in a curve. and
CF Montréal ID becomes more blurry
It was all that required it Press statement 49 words To indicate that the organizational progress of CF Montréal has stopped, again. This version, published last Monday morning, was published by the club’s decision to the fire director Laurent Courtois only five games in its second season on the margin. Courtois, in which he indicated an employment from the Columbus crew to Montreal’s desire to return to the heavy days in Wilfred Nancy, even before he had the opportunity to train against the home crowd in 2025 thanks to the journey of the seven club that the weather caused to start the season.
And now? It is difficult to read the intentions of the owner Joey Saputo Club ever.
With the lowest level of spending in the league on the list of the first team, CF Montréal cannot win by collecting high -level talents. They struck their roof on the East Land Tour last year. Now in the sixth manager since 2019 at the interim coach Marco Dundel, CF Montréal cannot win by creating a consistent tactical approach as well, because this consistency does not exist. The coaches did not change in a magical way, as it tied on Saturday 1-1 with the photographer Chicago. They are simply not the threat of the cup, regardless of those who run them.
Saputo’s Club plays a different game from all other 29 clubs in MLS – which is not a winning game.
At least, Saputo has Bologna to return to it, a club that “people appreciate our work … here [in Montreal] “They cannot do our work,” he said. A strange interview Days after Cortua.
People in Montreal may appreciate the largest copper in Montreal more if they start taking the club seriously, but this seems to be much of what we should ask. JL
