Chicharito became the latest galactico signed by the LA Galaxy, the Mexican the most famous player in North America and finally now in MLS after multiple teams tried and failed to land him.
Replacing the force of nature that was Zlatan Ibrahimovic would be no easy task, but where Zlatan was bluster and absurd quotes, Chicharito would bring the boy next door energy, a team ethic and that megawatt smile to score goals, endorse products and become the next Galaxy phenomenon.
And well, in 2020 not much of that vision actually happened.
I suppose it was a warning sign when the video emerged after Chicharito’s transfer with Sevilla, when he was talking on the phone with his father and calling the move to LA akin to a retirement.
