We are about to see a huge overhaul of the Goats, for the umpteenth time. The club has
declined contract options for midfielders Miller Bolaños and Laurent Courtois,
and waived defender Joaquín Velázquez while forward Giovani Casillas has been
recalled by CD Guadalajara. Bolaños has been on loan to Chivas USA from LDU
Quito of Ecuador. Meanwhile, Casillas came to Chivas USA on loan from Guadalajara
with Velázquez caming from Puebla FC. Bolaños loss is another setback for an
offense that failed to produce since Juan Agudelo left. In the meantime, according to MedioTiempo.com, forward Erick
Torres is linked to a move to Chivas USA. Overhauling roster isn’t a good news for Jose
Luis Real's work. Against New England, Chivas USA showed some improvement as
they played much better in this game than they did the previous under new
regime. Real implemented a new tactics, allowing opponents to retain ball
control with Chivas sitting deep in the way to play on fast-break. This new
tactical thought needs time to be installed. The main change Real made was to
switch from a three-man back line to a flat four defence. Team is now lined up
in a more conservative 4-1-4-1 formation. Inserting new player in a new scheme requires
some time while at this point of the season newcomers will have to adapt quickly. But with Chivas at the bottom of the West with 12 just points it seems like the ownership is
trying to rebuild for the next season. While Velázquez was out from Real’s
plans, Courtois did a good against Revs and he was on the way to become a fan
favourite so his release make no sense. About Torres, Chivas USA are looking
for some help up front. Known as the 'new Chicharito', Erick Torres has been
under Man Utd radar in the past. His scoring skills could help a depleted department
as Chivas USA offense is.
