With preseason camp starting in a few days, LAFC begins filling out its roster by re-signing veteran defenders Jordan Harvey and Dejan Jakovic.LAFC’s path into South America was blazed, in large part, by Juan Pablo Angel, a former Colombian international who played six seasons in MLS, and Uruguayan scout Victor de los Santos. Angel, who remains a legend in Colombia, was hired as a technical consultant by LAFC and he has given the young club immediate credibility in South America.
De los Santos, who lives in Uruguay, is a more traditional scout, one with deep connections in the country’s soccer infrastructure. Together he and Angel identify potential LAFC recruits, and based in part on their recommendations, Thorrington decides which ones deserve a closer look. Francisco Ginella, center, signed with LAFC last month, adding to the South American influence the roster has.
The presence of those players continues a transition that has seen MLS teams begin turning their back on aging, big-name European stars in favor of dynamic, if anonymous, South Americans.
