There’s no single formula to build a successful team in this sport. That part is obvious — what is less obvious is how to actually build the successful team.
For LAFC, the success has been found, to a point — a Supporters’ Shield, a trip to the Concacaf Champions League final on the first try — but they’re in a slump at the moment.
That slump has been present all of this young season, and perhaps the culprit is as simple as Diego Rossi and Carlos Vela being hurt to start the campaign and once both are fully back in form and rhythm, many of the issues will dissipate. Perhaps.
