Soccer coaches and players are human too. This was more than demonstrated in Los Angeles FC's game against Austin FC, where Bob Bradley replaced Carlos Vela in the 21st minute, understanding that he had a serious injury. Yes, the beginning of the MLS already has a good blooper.

Vela fell badly after trying to finish off a cross to the far post, which quickly set off the alarm bells for the substitute bench. Medical assistance entered to observe the Mexican, who received treatment on his right thigh. At that moment, his coach decided to replace him.

Once Opoku entered his place, Carlos Vela was totally surprised and upset by the situation. Sure, it wasn't even 30 minutes into the game in his season debut with Los Angeles FC. Obviously, an assistant thought that the Mexican had asked for the change. The Mexican could not bear the situation and went to the locker room.

Bob Bradley, the team's coach, made the decision to remove him from the field despite the fact that the Mexican didn't ask for it and this caused the surprise and annoyance of the player, who sought an explanation from his strategist. In the broadcast of the game in the United States, the strategist said that he did not understand the signal that Vela gave him: "The change is my responsibility, I did not understand Vela's signals".
