Galaxy Start 'Tricky' 7-game month at Vancouver-Daily News

The calendar has turned to March and it becomes a bustle for the galaxy.

From Sunday in Vancouver, the March time plan of the Galaxy is seven games, including a trip to Costa Rica to the start of the Concacaf Champions Cup against the Herediano on Wednesday

First, there is an opportunity to gather from your MLS season loss against San Diego FC.

“This is an opportunity to answer and withdraw,” said midfielder Edwin Cerrillo about the meeting on Sunday with Vancouver. “We have the opportunity to go out there and really fight and compete and to give it 110 percent. I felt disappointed in the last game. I am a person who gives everything I did, but in the end we play football to win games and have this feeling after we have not lost at home for so long, and I look forward to getting out on the field and showing our fans again this year. “”

As for the full schedule, the players always say that they like to play instead of training. Here are the game dates this month: Sunday in Vancouver, Wednesday in Costa Rica, March 9th and March 12th at home, March 16 in Portland, March 22nd in Minnesota and on March 29 at home.

“Quiet and recovery,” said Cerrillo. “We have to rely on everyone who deals with this team.

“That's why you play football, you want to play in as many games as possible and we want to play in these competitions, which is a good thing. We have a good year in which we enter the Champions League where it was a goal for us. Now we have to deal with the trip, only means that we rest and relax a lot with our training staff and communicate a lot and find the best way to prepare for the next game mentally and physically. “

The Whitecaps are also busy after winning their Champions Cup opening series against Saprissa and launched the MLS season against Portland Timbers 4: 1 last week.

“We didn't hit the occasion,” said Galaxy coach Greg Vanney about the defeat of last week. “It does not define us, it only shows us the things we have to work on. This will be a bit in the works if we set up some boys and compensate for some attacking pieces that we have to get into our group in order to ultimately be dangerous in the final action.

“I was a little surprised because some of the things we saw on Sunday were not things that were shown in the previous season. I thought they came out a bit in the game, so that's the pressure of the moment, I don't know, but it is something in which we certainly have to settle and improve. We will build. You do not repeat yourself as a champions at Game One, although you want to have a good performance. They repeat themselves as a champions by building up in the course of the season and are in their best form. “

Vanney had to balance the league and Concacaf competitions when he with Toronto FC.

After the game on Sunday, the galaxy will go to Costa Rica in Vancouver.
