The young man Obed Vargas, who was born in the United States, but has Mexican roots and He debuted with El Tri last month, declared that they will not allow LAFC to continue “abusing” the Seattle Sounders.
The 19-year-old midfielder spoke in an interview for the EFE agency about the duel that the Sounders will have against the Black and Gold next Saturday in the match corresponding to the semifinals of the Western Conference and said that They will seek to end the dominance that LAFC has over them, after 10 games without being able to beat them and 6 consecutive defeats, 4 of which were this year.
“We know that this week is very important because we have to train hard. They beat us four times (in 2024) and we have to put a stop to this because five times would be abuse for us,” he said.
“After we lost the first and second time, in the third game we entered with a little fear because we didn’t want the same thing to happen, we entered with our heads down. We learned from that and we are confident that we can have a great game.”, he delved into the topic.
“We are all very involved in training, paying attention to what the coaches tell us, and watching video of the games we have played against them to learn from those mistakes,” he concluded.
The winner of the duel between LAFC (first in the West) and the Seattle Sounders (fourth) will face the winner of the match between the LA Galaxy (second) and Minnesota United (sixth) in the conference final.
If both Los Angeles teams manage to overcome their next match, since the semifinals are played in one game at the home of the team with the most points in the regular season, there would be a dream conference final for the people of the city: The Traffic Classic.
