and what lies ahead it should be a cracker [Applause] a look at the starting 11 today well it looks like they're going to play in a 343 formation without wing backs which means the outside Center halves will need to cover the areas out wide which I would say is asking a lot and here's the starting 11 for Los Angeles FC well they're going to play with two Wingers in this 4-33 formation so they need to switch the ball quickly and get crosses into the box but they also need to get at least at least two Midfield players making runs into the penalty area that's a must thank you for attending
