The LA Galaxy will kick off the 2021 season Sunday with a road trip, to face Inter Miami CF for the first time ever. The teams were supposed to play the week the coronavirus shutdown hit in 2020, but now they will face each other to kick off the new season. Both teams enter with new coaches, Greg Vanney in LA, Phil Neville in Miami.
He has yet play in an MLS game. Javier “Chicharito” Hernández Number: 14 Position: Forward Age: 32 Country: Mexico A calf injury limited Chicharito to seven starts and two goals last year, his worst season since he was a teenager playing for Chivas of Guadalajara. A three-time World Cup player, he is Mexico’s all-time scoring leader.
The LA Galaxy played a lot of young players in the preseason games we got to watch this year. Sometimes, there were so many young players on the field that LA Galaxy II trialists were getting real minutes in preseason with the first team. Part of that was out of necessity, with a group of Galaxy first teamers — Julian Araujo, Sebastian Lletget, Jonathan dos Santos and Efrain Alvarez — out on international duty for part of the preseason.
