NYCFC
the champion of the mls is about to start his participation in the local league, but he is also playing the CONCACAF Champions Leaguesomething that does not concern the Norwegian coach ronny deilawho accepted that they are used to playing several games, so they have a positive mentality.
“We love to play. Last year we played a game every three days and we’re used to it. Now, actually, it’s boring to train so much, so we keep playing. We’re looking forward to the game on Sunday. In a way it was good to play here (Los Angeles) because we don’t have to adjust to the time zone and the travel. On the other hand, we’ve been away for five weeks, it’s a long time away from the family, but I think the guys are great in the way they’ve handled everything.”expressed the European helmsman.
LA Galaxy (4-4-2): Jonathan Bond; Derrick Williams, Nick Depuy, Julian Araujo, Kelvin Leerdam; Rayan Raveloson, Marky Delgado, Douglas Costa, Victor Vazquez; Kevin Cabral and Javier Hernandez.
NYCFC (4-2-3-1): Sean Johnson; Alexander Callens, Maxime Chanot, Tayvon Gray, Thiago Martins; Alfredo Morales, Nicolas Acevedo; Maxi Moralez, Santiago Rodríguez, Sizes Magno; Valentin Castellanos.
The Galaxy It was reinforced in several lines, however, it cannot be left aside that the last championship was one of the worst defenses, so that will be the big question despite the local situation.
On the other hand, the New York City It was one of the best offenses, apart from being in shape after his participation in the Concachampions where he scored six goals in six games, without forgetting that they have a lethal attacker like the Argentine Valentin Castellanos.
Against this background, the Chicharito appear as the victim and could probably fall in front of the current monarch of the mls.
Prediction: Galaxy 1-3 NYCFC
