A new era in Tinsel
Town is about to start, after Bruce Arena departure, a new man took over the helm of the Angelino squad, that in Major League
Soccer circles is considered among the most successful.
Very well considered
an spectacular one, that the number of soccer luminaries that have paraded in
Carson Center have earn them the moniker of the American Galacticos!
As new Boss Curt
Onalfo is about to take an all-around challenge of seeing a winning tradition
continue for his Galaxy as well its dominance in MLS and possibly start the
same in the area of CONCAFAC as one of the top squads.
By far the challenges
ahead for Manager Onalfo are not easy but not difficult with the squad he and
this club front office are building around him to make a contender and try to
win it all in this campaign.
Long gone are Steven
Gerrard and Robbie Keane as the utmost players in the Angelino squad, still
this is a new start and possibly new parade of top notch players to try to make
an impact in this and many campaigns to come.
So far, the City of
Angels squad has given contract extensions to Sebastian Llegett and Jelle Van
Damme to new contracts and the return of forward Jack Mc Bean from Coventry
City is shaping up into another strong contender.
By seeing Leonardo,
AJ De La Garza, Jeff Laurentowickz and Alan Gordon departing to new squads, the
need to reinforce the roster is one of Manager Onalfo utmost priorities.
The official arrival
of USMNT and former Rapids midfielder Jermaine Jones to Tinsel Town and
Vitória Guimarães Portuguese midfielder Joao Pedro, this area is becoming a lethal
one for the Galaxy.
Despite rumors and ongoing
negotiations with French, side Marseilles for Romain Alessandrini and the
interest of Jonathan Dos Santos in reuniting with his brother from Villarreal
FC, if the deals go through, lookout Galaxy.
As the Galaxy Boss
can wait for the campaign to start, still his preseason with matches against
Liga MX side Tijuana Xolos at Stub Hub Center, Las Vegas Cashman Center to face
San Jose Quakes and return to their last preparation match against the Portland
Timbers.
The prospects of their
regular campaign schedule looks a bit contested and tough, as the LA squad prepares
itself to front a tough home stand at Stub Hub Center, opening with the Dallas
FC on March 4 and a week later against the Portland Timbers.
For now the Galaxy Boys
are looking forward to another campaign and see the best of their new players
along the current ones making wonderful music in the field and delivering the
magic that the LA Club has accustomed us.
One for sure this squad
will be among the top six and netting a spot in the league postseason, despite
seeing a new member in the Western Conference, this squad is ready for any
upcoming challenges ahead.
If the Hollywood Boy’s
maintain a healthy squad and up their game to a more dynamic and spectacular one,
very well seeing a reunion with the Dos Santos Brothers and the arrival of a
top of the line players.
At the end, my
forecast for this group to have a finish around third or fourth place and with
a spot in the postseason, still nothing written in what seems to be a much-contested
edition of Major League Soccer.
For first year
Manager Curt Onalfo, its hands on and business as usual to make a stand with
his squad and looking forward to an spectacular campaign with his Galaxy and
deliver more shields to its halls in Carson Center.
