Mls, Chiellini ready to debut with LAFC in the Los Angeles derby

Los Angeles is the city of cinema, of superheroes, of the Lakers’ show-time. And football, never like this year. Historically, the Galaxy have always been the first football team in LA, thanks also – and above all – to the arrival of David Beckham in 2016 they were more in the spotlight than Los Angeles Fc which certainly had less ambition and history.

This year, however, the music has changed: Steve Cherundolo’s Los Angeles Fc leads the MLS Western Conference after 18 days, with a 9-point advantage over the Galaxy. The derby between the two franchises scheduled for Saturday morning at 4 am represents an important crossroads not only of the season, but also of the football history of Los Angeles.

Chiellini ready to debut

–

The growth of Los Angeles Fc is clear this season, after just 4 years from its birth. The speech is not only sporting given the first place in the regular season, but also in terms of attraction towards the players. For more information ask Giorgio Chiellini and Gareth Bale, two super names who landed in Mls a few days ago to help the club’s cause between the regular season and the playoffs. After the official announcement last week, the former Juventus captain is ready to spend the first token with the Los Angeles shirt: Chiello, in fact, most likely, will play a segment of the match.

Douglas Costa suspended

–

The Los Angeles derby will not even feature another former Juventus player. The disciplinary commission confirmed Douglas Costa’s 2-day disqualification after being sent off at the end of the match against Minnesota on June 30th. In general, the Brazilian’s season has not yet taken off definitively: there are only 2 goals scored in 2022 with the Galaxy shirt in 13 games, of which only 7 started as a starter.
