00:00I'm excited. You have to be excited after the bad news, right, about Ricky Puig's extended injury time.
00:09Is this a replacement? I wouldn't see it that way.
00:12The fact that we used DP money, almost two and a half million dollars cash, boom, smacked it on the table for Klaus.
00:19That shows that we're serious about being competitive again, or at least being up there.
00:22You know, this season we won it, we won it fast.
00:24But yeah, it's exciting.
00:25Man, now that I think about it, I feel like we haven't had somebody bigger, up front, who's a threat in the air since, like, Zlatan.
00:34So, like, for me, it's an exciting addition for PEC, for Paintsil, to kind of play up higher in the air, have a target now.
00:42And so, yeah, it's exciting.
00:45My soul is, like, destroyed since we won the cup a few years back.
00:49And so it's just been nothing but kind of downhill since then.
00:51So I think anything is good news.
00:53Right?
00:54Now, Chiba, let's go to the right side of Los Angeles with the black and gold.
01:01Some signings today.
01:03Raposo signs again a new deal, a player that is under value, I think.
01:07He had a great tenure in Vancouver, came to LAFC.
01:11Didn't got a lot of minutes, but he responded when needed.
01:14What other players, a few signings with LAFC.
01:17What are your highlights of the offseason so far?
01:19There's still more players coming.
01:20I mean, one of them that is a rumor is from Chivas.
01:25Chivitas and LAFC?
01:27SÃ.
01:27Eric Gutierrez, of course.
01:30Eric Gutierrez, he's been named to be one of the possible signs for LAFC.
01:36Actually, I made a comment on the LAFC page, and Eddie Gutierrez liked it, saying, bring him in.
01:41Oh, cool.
01:42So maybe that's a sign.
01:43Maybe that's a sign.
01:43We don't know.
01:43Chivas influenced him.
01:44Hey, you got to do what you got to do.
01:46You got to do what you got to do.
01:47But you know what?
01:47More than the players that are coming to LAFC, I'm excited about the new coach.
01:50I think Dos Santos is going to make a difference.
01:53He's going to be a different football style.
01:55And yes, he was the assistant coach for Cherundolo for a long time, and also for Bob Bradley.
02:00Also for Bob, yes.
02:01Yeah.
02:01But still, I think it's going to be a totally different football style that we want to see.
02:05We want to see the LAFC style, which is always going forward, trying to score a lot of goals.
02:09And I'm excited about that.
02:11I think that this is a great turning point for the black and gold.
02:15I think that having a coach that is a day one, he was in the team from the very first training session.
02:23He knows the DNA that is needed to bring LAFC back to the level.
02:28I don't want to say back, because it's not like they've been terrible.
02:33But I feel like they still owe to the promise that was made to be a top team.
02:38Now, let's talk about the other big team in the competition, no other than Miami, that is putting together,
02:47como decimos, un trabuco de equipo.
02:49Oh, my God.
02:50Starting from the back, bringing the best goalkeeper in the league with Sinclair.
02:55Now, they also bring the best, arguably, one of the best forwards in Liga MX, in Inverterame.
03:04And in between, a lot of youngsters and Messi still.
03:08Playing at a very high level.
03:10Chiba, Nick, is Miami the ultimate favorite to win the next season in MLS?
03:15I mean, definitely.
03:16They have to be one of the main contenders to win the MLS Cup again.
03:20I mean, I'm a little upset with Miami because they tried to take Buanga from LLFC, but they didn't have enough money.
03:26They're coaching, man.
03:27Yes, yes, yes.
03:28But Berterame is coming in.
03:29I think he's a great, great player.
03:30You know, everybody wants to play with Messi.
03:34And I think with Messi still having a lot of football in him, we have to be nervous, me as an LLFC fan, and the fact that Miami, they're going to try to make a degeneration of winning a lot of titles.
03:48And I think they're in the right path with the people that they're bringing in.
03:50Yeah, and they're going to surpass LLFC pretty quickly.
03:53It's not hard to do in terms of titles.
03:56But one thing I want to say, though, Philly, I would put them as another, like, contender out there.
04:02Yeah.
04:03You know, alongside Miami, Supporter Shield winners last year.
04:07Philly's definitely on the map as well.
04:08Of course, LLFC up there, too.
04:10I want to stress also, though, this is, as you mentioned, a unique season coming up.
04:14Because we got a big pause, smack in the middle, right for the World Cup.
04:17How's that going to affect a squad that's absolutely stacked with world-class international players like Miami?
04:23So you have to think about that as well.
