Carlos Vela returned to play after his injury, he scored a great goal and I took advantage and sent a message to Martino.
Carlos Vela returned to play after his injury, he scored a great goal and I took advantage and sent a message to Martino.

Carlos Vela did not play for more than 10 games with LAFC but he finally reappeared and in what way. The Mexican forward entered the second half and with a great definition the game against LA Galaxy. Just one ball is enough for him to show that the quality is still intact. LAFC brings the Mexican player back for the playoffs and it's great news.

LAFC can finish Sunday more than happy for two reasons: first for the victory against their classic rival LA Galaxy by 2 to 0 and second for the great return of Carlos Vela after overcoming the injury. Carlos Vela is the best reinforcement for the LAFC team for what is coming.

Vela's happiness to play again could be seen before the game but once he converted the smile was not erased from his face. Carlos Vela indirectly sends a message to Martino showing him that he is still valid and with great skill. The Mexican team is looking for variants for the attack and Vela's return could be very important.

Mexico has two friendly confirmed for November against Japan and South Korea. It wouldn't be surprising to see Vela be called up by Martino for those two games. Let's remember that Vela had said that he would not return to the National Team after the 2018 World Cup in Russia to leave his position to another younger player.
