A squad that was
considered a sorry one in Major League Soccer circles- suddenly is turning into
an overnight contender in the Western Division.
I’m talking about
those surprising Chivas USA squad, that from nowhere, are embarked on a marvelous
winning streak.
After all, this squad
is always been in the news, after Jorge Vergara a controversial and well known Mexican
businessman, sold out its interests of this club to MLS.
And by currently waiting
for a new ownership if not a new home, Chivas USA is generating all of the
makings of a stellar and prolific campaign at its venue in Carson, California.
So far, this club
four game winning streak has been lauded by many experts as well seen carefully
by its division rivals, looking for the always coveted postseason positions.
With a record
currently of 6-7-5 and with 23 points in the stands, this club currently is on
7th place just two points behind the Vancouver Whitecap’s, which hold
the 5th and the last position to make the postseason.
For now Manager Wilmer
Cabrera is taking it easy and doesn’t want to be overconfident with his club,
but by taking all of the necessary precautions along with a conservative approach
into their next compromises.
Still his desires and
push to the top, along with his squad along its triumphant initial eleven-
makes this chap to continue with his plan to bring this club the respect it
deserves as well its push to the top.
By netting important
wins over a belligerent and top of the line squad in Real Salt Lake, San Jose
Quakes, Montreal Impact and their last accomplishment playing at always difficult
BC Place- where the Goats scored an important and convincing win.
Oh yeah, beating a
hardened Caps at home and silencing a sold out BC Place, the American version
of the Rojiblancos or Red and white, are becoming an overnight sensation in
league circles.
Very well with an initial
eleven that has seen a fired up striker in Erick Torres scoring in his fifth consecutive match as well its 13th goal of the campaign.
Also seeing a midfield
headed by Newcomer Agustin Pelleteri and his countryman in former Sounder
sensation Mauro Rosales, these two Argentinians are contributing as expected.
In its defensive backfield headed by Carlos Bocanegra a veteran of a
thousand battles and former Ranger from the Scottish Premiership and Team USA
veteran, as a leader of the backfield.
At the end the Goats are looking positively good with their latest series
of encouraging results- still this squad is among one in the league, with one
of the worst in attendance at Stub Hub Center.
Hopefully this winning streak is a start of something wonderful coming
to its venue at Carson, California- along of a start of a top of the line
campaign and return to glory.
