When Ibrahimovic left LA Galaxy, doubts began as to whether Javier Chicharito Hernandez was going to be able to replace everything that the Swedish player had generated. Ibrahimovic went to Milan from Serie A and continues to show that he is at a great football level while Chicharito is being asked to retire as a player. Why are their mentalities so different?

LA Galaxy could not find a replacement for Ibrahimovic and Chicharito Hernandez is the target of all criticism. That's why from Serie A, Ibrahimovic is showing him the path the Mexican forward has to follow if he wants to succeed in MLS with LA Galaxy. Ibrahimovic often speaks without using words and that is what happened now.

At 39, Ibrahimovic wants to continue being one of the best forwards in the world and he doesn't work for that every day. He is focused on what he has to do as a footballer and not on extra-sports things. It's what Hernandez needs to be able to make LA Galaxy history and not remain a failure.

Ibrahimovic, whenever he went to any league, was always very professional and that is what Chicharito Hernadez is not doing. If Chicharito took the advice or took Ibrahimovic as an example, he could surely return to being the soccer player he used to be in the Premier League or in the Liga BBVA. It is in the hands of Chicharito, which is what he wants for his future, whether to be a gamer or to continue playing soccer professionally.
