""When we get into the final action, it doesn't have to be me who makes the play, it has to be us who makes the play, and it has to be the best guy in the best position who has the best chance to help the team be successful.""
""Sometimes it's also 'I'm going to make this run hard to the near post. I know it isn't going to be for me, but I'm going to take this near post center back out of the way so that the next guy who shows up can finish too'.""
""So, sometimes it's about sacrificing yourself on a run to create space for the next guy and recognising that I'm the guy that needs to sacrifice myself in this situation to clear up a space for somebody else to finish.""
Greg Vanney has called for increased creativity from LA Galaxy when facing low-block defenses. Despite a 1-1 draw against Portland Timbers, where Galaxy dominated in xG, Vanney stresses the importance of team initiative and sacrifices. He highlights that success relies on making the best decisions collectively in final actions. Vanney encourages players to make selfless runs to create opportunities for teammates. Minnesota United, like Galaxy, has also earned five points in their first five games of the season.
