The LA Galaxy coach wants the Mexican forward to join the team as soon as possible since he can’t practice or play a game until his paperwork arrives.
Guillermo Barros Schelotto, the Los Angeles Galaxy head coach, is eagerly waiting to count with Javier Hernandez in preseason games and in practices. The Mexican hasn’t been able to join the team since he doesn’t have his work visa that should arrive this week.
After hosting an open practice for the fans on Saturday, Schelotto said that he is happy with the current team and hopes that Chicharito’s visa arrives this week so the Mexican forward can join the rest of the players in practice.
“We can’t count with Chicharito right now but we have been in constant communication and I explained to him what I expect from him in the field. We are just waiting for the visa to arrive and hopefully that happens Thursday or Friday and then he will have plenty of time to join the rest of the team before playing Houston in the first game of the 2020 season,” commented Schelotto about Hernandez's situation.
Barros Schelotto is well aware that Chicharito is a different player so he expects lots of goals and that he helps the team with passes and opening up spaces for the rest of the players. The team expects that the Mexican striker makes an impact from the beginning of the season.
“We have been talking a lot about how I think he can help the team during the games. We expect goals and much more from him. He is a special player that has to give us something extra than the rest so we have high expectations and hopefully he can score many goals this year,” expressed Galaxy’s coach.
