What Greg Vanney envisions for the Galaxy starts with a simple idea: Hold the ball more than the other team.
The concept will serve as the foundation for the team under Vanney, who was introduced as the team’s new head coach in a videoconference call Wednesday.
If properly implemented, the philosophy will unlock striker Javier “Chicharito” Hernández, who scored only twice in 12 games in his first season with the team. It will serve as a cultural touchstone. It will return the Galaxy to its rightful position as Major League Soccer’s signature team.
