LA Galaxy 2020 player postmortem: Sacha Kljestan
Photo by Shaun Clark/Getty ImagesSacha Kljestan joined the LA Galaxy as a free agent in the offseason ahead of the 2020 season, and demonstrated the pull the club still has locally, as the Orange County native proclaimed the Galaxy had always been his favorite local team, even though he got his start with Chivas USA.
Such goodwill was certainly not a bad sign, and Kljestan was always a player who got up for the competition. I think the Galaxy were looking not only for that spark on the field on occasion, but also a veteran’s leadership in the locker room as LA looked to push on in Guillermo Barros Schelotto’s second season.
