LA Galaxy 2021 Player Postmortem: Rayan Raveloson

Rayan Raveloson was a central midfielder who almost immediately slotted in as an emergency center back. And he carried the LA Galaxy’s attack for several games when Chicharito was out hurt. Huh?

Yes, Raveloson hit the ground running once he joined the Galaxy midseason, and he chipped in through ways we probably didn’t expect. Arriving as part of the France-based contingent, Raveloson arrived last, but arguably had the biggest impact among those newcomers for LA.

Raveloson mostly played as a defensive midfielder, meant to shield Jonathan dos Santos, after arriving, but as mentioned, he almost immediately went into the lineup as an emergency center back for a few games while Derrick Williams was suspended.
