THEY WANT TO BRING BACK ALAN PULIDO
La Máquina de Cruz Azul is in search of new figures that will allow them to reach the final of the upcoming Liga MX Apertura 2023 tournament, which is why the team's board of directors and the coaching staff headed by Ricardo 'Tuca' Ferretti are analyzing who would be the best options to reinforce their ranks.
One of these candidates would be Sporting Kansas City's Mexican striker Alan Pulido, who is also in the orbit of Chivas Rayadas de Guadalajara and Xolos de Tijuana to become the new starting striker of their respective squads in order to have the best possible chance of scoring goals for the upcoming tournament.
WHAT'S NEXT FOR MLS TEAMS
This summer of 2023 will see the Leagues Cup 2023, the third edition of the competition that combines teams from Liga BBVA MX and MLS; however, the tournament promises to be full of emotions due to its format, which will be different starting this year, after the 2019 and 2021 editions.
The 2023 edition of the Leagues Cup will be the first to involve all the teams from both leagues, the 29 from MLS and the 18 from Liga BBVA MX, in search of the title. In previous editions, Mexican soccer clubs have been crowned champions: Cruz Azul after defeating Tigres in 2019 and León defeated Seattle Sounders in 2021.
ON MESSI'S ARRIVAL AT THE MLS
Bruce Arena, D.T of New England revolutions spoke about what it means that Messi is coming to MLS.
"What's special is that David Beckham was able to lure Messi to his club. They worked on it for a couple of years. Messi is a good story because he thinks differently. They'll be fine with him, Messi is going to win games, he's going to have a tremendous impact for that team, for that city and for La Liga. And that has to be good for everybody."
ON HIS RECOVERY
"He will spend the next few weeks doing rehab and waiting for the swelling to go down. He will have to do strengthening exercises. I think the operation will be done in two weeks and he will start his rehabilitation which will be very slow and he will have to work a lot," revealed Vanney
CHICHARITO'S INJURY
Chicharito Hernandez suffered a tough injury in his last game with the LA Galaxy that resulted in a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee, which will keep him away from the field for the rest of the year, which also left him out of any possibility of returning to the Mexican National Team.
THE WAIT IS OVER
The wait is over, one of the best soccer games in the world returns with the MLS midweek matchday, the best actions, controversies, debates, colors and goals return to give one of the best games in these 90 minutes. In this match the LA Galaxy and Sporting Kansas City will face each other from the Dignity Health Sports Park, a duel that will be marked by the absence of Chicharito Hernandez due to the injury suffered days ago and the need of both teams to get three points.
