Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s brace gives an extra momentum to the American football competition that more than any other at the moment is thrilling the stars and stripes people.
After the exclusion from the 2018 World Cup in Russia which, as happened also to the Italian national team, is an open wound difficult to accept, now we look ahead and focus all attention on Major League Soccer , the most important North American football championship for club.
The competition kicked off on March 3 and there are several teams competing for the title. And, after the match on March 31st, the team ofLos Angeles Galaxy , where Swedish footballer Ibrahimovic made his grand debut.
Last season’s results for the Galaxy are by no means satisfactory. Suffice it to say that in the last competition they finished last. But with the arrival of Ibrahimovic we return to hope for a change and a recovery that can lead the entire team to the success of the past. Also because his opponents are not to be underestimated, starting with the first classified of the previous championship, Toronto .
The spearheads of the American team make it almost unbeatable. First of all our Italians Sebastian Giovinco , who led Toronto to victory, raising the 2017 Major League Soccer cup.
The top scorer, who has 16 goals to his credit, and flanked by equally strong players such as the former Chievo and Roma, Michael Bradley, and Victor Vazquez, to form a team that wants to keep the title at all costs again this year.
But the other teams in the competition will not let themselves be won without a fight. Starting with one of the youngest, Atlanta United , which promises to give several surprises in MLS. The players, coached by former Barcelona and Argentina national team coach Gerardo Martino , are already thrilling the spectators of the competition they see in this new team, which played its first game in Major League Soccer just last year, the revelation of the championship.
And the curiosity around this team grows with every game, also helping to increase the turnout of fans at the stadium.
According to statistics, Atlanta United in 2017 attracted 8,000 more people than the most famous team of the Seattle Sounders . In fact, despite the more rooted experience in MLS than other teams, the club led by Brian Schmetzer , of which one of the owners and even Paul Allen, the creator of Microsoft, seems to attract less attention than emerging teams. If their results in today’s competition are not prominent, Seattle Sounders risk losing popularity. [/ Vc_column_text] [/ vc_column] [/ vc_row]
