When Giorgio Chiellini joined the Los Angeles Football Club in July, the Italian defender knew enough about Major League Soccer to share his thoughts about the challenging cluster of road matches that awaited him and his new team.
The MLS season reaches October with two regular season games to go, and Chiellini is now all too familiar with the practical difference between playing at locations around the U.S. or LAFC’s home, Banc of California Stadium. “Everybody has a smartphone nowadays and can follow scores,” LAFC head coach Steve Cherundolo said. “We are in the 33rd game of the season and the table is an important part of it. It is a part of it. We are not just going to ignore it. But none of it means anything if you don’t get the job done in Portland and that’s where our focus is.
The 25-year-old central defender missed two early season matchups against the Timbers — a draw in league play and a victory in the U.S. Open Cup — before returning from the injury in June. He has since contributed alongside an assortment of defenders, including Chiellini, whom the Colombian paired with in LAFC’s match versus Houston prior to the just concluded FIFA international break.
