This weekend they fell by the minimum (1-0) against Atlanta United and it was the last straw for the patience of Carlos Vela , who said he was frustrated by the current situation of the club.
In the post-match press conference, the Mexican nothing was saved: “ It is very difficult to be positive when you lose a game, for me it was a very close match. We had opportunities and options to seek the goal. Honestly, I don’t like losing so much and I’m getting tired of losing; we have to change this situation and continue working ”.
Your message was not critical , but realistic. He pointed out that if the team is not in the first places it is “because it is not at 100%”. Beyond that, he made no excuses about it. “ When you don’t win you are frustrated, angry, but I’ve been through those moments throughout my career “, explained.
In LAFC’s last three losses, Vela hasn’t scored a goal. Before those games he had a four-game streak shaking the networks.
The Los Angeles team is in eighth place in the Western Conference. Add 23 points. Despite the losing streak, being back in the playoffs positions could be a reality as soon as next round.
In the next day they will face Vancouver Whitecaps, a team that is second to last in the conference. It is the perfect match for Carlos Vela and his LAFC to return to the path of victory.
