Although they did not play a great game, the LA Galaxy were able to stay with the victory in an agonizing way against the Vancouver Whitecaps. Guillermo Barros Schelotto was in need of a victory as all the criticism fell on him and Chicharito Hernandez. With a risky move, Barros Schelloto decided that the Mexican striker would start the game on the substitute bench.

At the end of the game, Barros Schelloto was asked about his decision to leave Chicharito Hernandez out and said it was entirely for sports reasons. The Argentine coach decided to include Yony Gonzales as his only forward to face Vancouver in his starting team.

Barros Schelotto said that he does not care what happens inside or outside the dressing rooms but that he chooses the players only for soccer reasons. Clearly this message was directed to Chicharito Hernandez as during the week it was said that his companions were no longer comfortable with the presence of the Mexican on the team.

In addition to the problems off the soccer field, Barros Schelotto made it very clear that the Mexican forward is at a very low level and that is why he is not part of the starting team. Chicharito Hernandez will have to make an effort and score a goal as quickly as possible if he wants to get back into Barros Schelotto's consideration.
