This campaign it
surely looks like the Boys from Tinsel Town, the Los Angeles Galaxy will honor
their roots and get the appellative of FC Hollywood, for its constellation of
stars in the field.
As this week their
initial eleven with the acquisition of Mexican Superstar and Mexican National
Team wonder Giovanni Dos Santos, the Angelinos will put more of a contending
initial eleven in the field alongside newly arrived Liverpool’s former great
Captain Steven Gerrard.
Somehow this squad is
looking like its European counterparts in Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in
assembling an all-around contender to meet any squad without any problem as
well net shields as they please in whatever competition they may be in.
Still the league is
reaching its mid break with its MLS All Star game to be played in Dick’s Park
in Commerce City, Colorado, were the Angelinos can make their plan work out for
sure.
Something at the
American version of the Galacticos Manager Bruce Arena will start idealizing
and creating his strategies in his upcoming matches to close with a stronger
note and maybe with the MLS Shield.
That for now it
doesn’t look like an impossible feat for the new version of FC Hollywood making
honor to this world famous Angelino landmark that announces its presence with
those beautiful white letters located in the top of the Mount Lee north of LA.
What is next for LA
Wayne Rooney, maybe but still the absence and hole left by American top gun in
Landon Donovan will a tough one to fill in whoever comes from any of the
European or South American leagues!
So far the initial elevens placed in the field by Bruce
Arena showed a very resilient and belligerent Galaxy that wasn’t an easy rival
to beat by many in MLS- ask a couple of teams that they play against the LA
squad and the array of goals they received.
Very well who will be
the player to be unseated by Giovanni’s arrival at Stub Hub Park, after all the
backfield isn’t Gio’s or Gerra strong point but the midfield for both of these
two.
And for the Mexican being one of his strong
points the offensive attack and playing as a frontal attacker midfielder of
forward were he’s known for his individualism and aggressive style of play.
The question in how
Arena will lineup Gio and Gerra, as his midfield with Llegett, Juninho, Husidic
and Ishizaki and the frontal attack with Villarreal and Keane, where will Gio
fit that’s the question, as the Galaxy so far has outscored its opposition 19-5
at home.
At the end one tough
choice for Arena this will be where to align Gio or there’s a start in this squad’s
internal competition in who will get the nod or keep its starting position in
the Galaxy initial eleven.
Giovanni Dos Santos
is another player that can make history as his countrymen in the likes of Luis
Hernandez, Jorge Campos and Carlos Hermosillo who played in the LA squad and
join the likes of Cuauhtémoc Blanco or Claudio Suarez as the top rated Mexican
players in MLS.
For now the Los Angeles
Galaxy will become a force not to be reckoning with and will display a one of a kind football in whatever
field and foe they go against- as well develop a more spectacular and dynamic
game similar to any European squad.
