CARSON, Calif. (AP) — From its slow start to its melancholy finish, Javier Hernández’s first season with the LA Galaxy has been a major disappointment.
Just ask Chicharito himself.
“This was a bad season for me,” the Mexican superstar said Wednesday night after scoring only his second goal of 2020, but doing it during the game in which the Galaxy were eliminated from the MLS postseason race.
The 32-year-old forward who moved over from Europe to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic has barely made an impact in 10 months with the Galaxy. The highest-paid player in Major League Soccer didn’t score until the league’s return tournament in Florida in July, and then he promptly missed most of the next four months with various injuries.
