He debuted the first Premier team in him and caused baseball hobby. El Chelsea, the English league room, winner of the European League, is a decidedly rigid team. Enzo Maresca, his coach, raised a rough, calculator, cautious. An invitation to yawn. Los Angeles FC replied more caution, more discipline, more tactical rigor. Doze. The least risks were imposed. Almost by accident. Nathan Ordaz had just suffered a ball in the head. He had lost the sense of orientation when he received a ball between the lines and was not able to warn that he stole it, played with Palmer, Palmer found Jackson, and Jackson stirred and left only Pedro Neto: 1-0. At half an hour, the predictable. Zero surprises. Zero emotion.

The stage was imposing. The Mercedes Benz de Atlanta stadium, home of the Falcons of the NFL, is a monument to architectural innovation. At three o’clock on Monday afternoon, the public had lagged behind. There are no things to do tourism in Georgia. Just a half entry for a capacity of 70,000. Brave followers of the FC mostly. Arcoiris flag carriers. Surely delighted, to see how Igor Jesús, Tilman and Mark Delgado, their good interiors, closed all the spaces to the visitors of Azul. Seriously. With good preparation. Not for nothing was the most important game in the history of the club. The most anticipated appointment in the career of many of its players. Sergi Palencia warned it, the Catalan right side: “We have not come to exchange t -shirts.”
The game was a mutual block when half an hour, the Lafc advanced lines, he trusted, he felt great in front of an adversary that seemed lethargen. Enthusiastic at the apparent lack of answers from Chelsea, the players imagined glory, they released and invaded the opposite field. They lost their heads. Especially Ordaz, who five minutes after stealing the ball in the play that led to the 1-0 asked for the entrance of doctors. After a brief exam, the experts sent him to the shower due to danger of brain shock.
Nico Jackson’s maneuver was an anthology of body employment. How he controlled, how he was outlined, how he occupied space, how he saw Aaron Long, the central, like a truck, and cheated him in the turn. Everything was wonderful. The second brightest of a farragoso. His net assistance culminated the work. With such absurd consequences that when the Portuguese put the 1-0 he did not thank him for the service but faced with Denis Bouranga, the lafc attacker, and began to throw kisses in a provocative outburst.
Little more offered the game, apart from a certain vibration in the second part. First, a shot from Bouranga that Robert Sánchez cleared, then the 2-0 of Enzo Fernández, who entered to replace the Inane Lavia and ended up closing the process with a brilliant arrival to the Lloris area.
Nothing surprising. Nothing too spectacular. Without novelty in the front of Georgia. Chelsea beat the FC and now wait for tunis and flamengo. The Premier could with the Major League Soccer. The Atlanta Braves, their pitchers and their catches, can sleep peacefully. Their fans will not abandon them for the Pivot de Enzo Maresca.
