What can Jesús David Murillo add to the Carlos Vela's Los Angeles FC?
The 26-year-old defender Jesús David Murillo was signed from Independiente Medellín de Colombia by Los Angeles FC.
Jesús David Murillo is the new Los Angeles Football Club's element. The 26-year-old Colombian footballer arrives from Independiente Medellín, where he won the 2019 Colombia Cup. In his new team he will try to earn a spot in Carlos Vela's team. He thinks that this new challenge may boost him to his national team.
What can Murillo add to Bob Bradley's side? Defensive strength. Since Carlos Vela's injury in August 22th, LAFC has lost 6 of their last 10 games. It was a sensible loss and the Californian side haven't been able to replaced him yet, although the Uruguayans Diego Rossi and Brian Rodríguez has performed greatly.
As they have lost their star and haven't been able to find solutions in offense, the team's coach decided to strengthen their defense. That's why they decided to go all-in for the Colombian defender: he is strong, fast, tall and young. Murillo can bring many solutions to Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Football Club's ambitions to win the Western Conference and get to the MLS's final. They are also seeking for a ConcaChampions spot. Last year, they won the MLS Supporters Shield. It's hard to say if they will be able to win the MLS Cup now with so many difficulties and Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers performing brightly. Their chances will increase when Carlos Vela returns to the field.
