LA Galaxy’s captain, Maya Yoshida, expresses dissatisfaction with the team’s midseason rankings, with Sporting Kansas City next in line.
The squad’s six-match unbeaten streak came to a halt just before the break, thanks to a two-one upset by Chicago Fire.
They are currently in fourth place in the Western Conference, trailing the leader by five points.
“Yes, we’ve upped our game since last year, but it still isn’t enough for me. I want more victories,” Yoshida declared.
The team’s coach, Greg Vanney, shares a similar sentiment about the season’s progression so far.
Sporting finally ended their streak of defeats with a win against Seattle Sounders, now in twelfth place.
“They’ve got great potential,” Coach Peter Vermes said confidently about his squad.
