LA Galaxy 2021 Player Postmortem: Chicharito

Chicharito was an absolute disaster on the field in 2020. Coming in as the LA Galaxy’s replacement to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, one of the few players who could rival the Swede in terms of name recognition and potential for production in MLS, the Mexican superstar fell flat on his face in what was a difficult year for so many of us.

But, he came good in 2021. After vowing to rededicate himself, dealing with some personal issues off the field, and getting away for a while, Chicharito came back lean, mean and ready to...ok, I can’t keep rhyming, score goals.
