In the Club World Cup play-off against Mexico and America, they successfully advanced with the winning goal scored in overtime, showing their tenacious fighting spirit and outstanding state.

They have the opportunity to get upset when they play against Chelsea and have the ability to wrestle with Flamenco. Although they are generally at a disadvantage, their miracle is still worth looking forward to.
【Star Player】
On the offensive end of the Los Angeles FC, 38-year-old Giroud and 27-year-old Yundale have both traveled in Europe for many years. Before joining Los Angeles FC, Giroud still played an important role in AC Milan. Although he did not score in his U.S. football team last season and only scored 2 goals this season, Giroud’s power is still worthy of attention.
Yundale is a skilled wing player. He has not completely locked in Los Angeles’ main position this season, but his major competition experience will help the team when playing against teams from other continents.
Los Angeles’ main goalkeeperIt is Lori, the former French country. From last season to this season, Lori is the number one candidate for Los Angeles FC in the goalkeeper position. Although he is 38 years old, his ability is still outstanding in the US. In addition, Wu Xiaohai, a Canadian Chinese player who officially announced his joining Liaoning Iron Man this year, also recently joined Los Angeles FC. This former naturalized target of the Chinese national football team performed well in the U.S. professional football team last season. Although he only played for one minute in the Club World Cup play-offs after coming to Los Angeles FC, as long as he integrates into the team, he will bring considerable help to the team on the wing.
