Chicharito: 'We need to be vulnerable and humble'
MLS Opening Weekend ...
Sunday's Inter Miami-LA Galaxy game was supposed to be a coming out party for Inter Miami, playing before its home fans for the first time DRV PNK Stadium and under a new coach, Phil Neville, but Javier Hernandez stole the show.
Twice, Inter Miami led, and twice Chicharito equalized for the Galaxy. Then, Sacha Kljestan fired a fired a shot that sneaked inside the post to give the Galaxy a 3-2 win.

Chicharito was on the verge of tears in his post-game interview on ABC as he described the joy of scoring the two goals, which matched his total in 2020, his first MLS season with the Galaxy.
"For him to kind of take the monkey or gorilla off his back a little bit and to move forward and this first game with a couple goals," said Greg Vanney, who was making his debut as the Galaxy coach, "I couldn't be happier for him.”
Vanney pulled all the right moves on and off the field. The Galaxy trailed, 1-0, at the half and was not putting much pressure on the Inter Miami defense until he brought on Ethan Zubak to give the Galaxy a second striker to work with Chicharito.
"In the second half," he said, "I challenged them to push the tempo, and I thought for the first few minutes there was a couple chances, but really, really things changed when we went to a second forward. And we did that for a number of reasons, but it also pulled the game forward a little bit faster."
The Galaxy struggled in 2020 under Argentine Guillermo Barros Schelotto, who was fired late in the season.
"The whole lead-up to this game just felt lighter and fun and exciting more than last year," said Kljestan. "The feeling in the group right now, the way we are with each other, the way we enjoy being around each other, the camaraderie of the group, the brotherhood all that has been really at a high level and been really fun so going into the game we felt really good."
Kljestan, who is in his 16th season as a pro and second with the Galaxy, said everyone was happy for Chicharito.
"He is our big player, he's our No. 9, he's the guy that is going to score goals for us," he said. "And also not only that he is a leader in our team, so when he speaks guys listen. When he leads by example, younger players will follow, so we have to follow Chich and we have to follow what he is doing."
Chicharito has been very open about how hard 2020 was with the loss of his grandfather, Tomas Balcazar, who scored for Mexico in the 1954 World Cup, the birth of his second child and then the decision by his wife, model Sarah Kohan, to return to her native Australia with their two young children.
"I have never faced the death of someone," he said after Sunday's game, "and that happened last year. I became a father for the second time six months ago, so I have been through a lot of stuff because I'm a human and that doesn't mean that because I scored two goals that everything is forgotten, and that I am the greatest and stupid things like that."
Chicharito said all the work to come back was worth it.
"Even that bad year that I had helped me so much to improve," he said. "I mean, if we don't have bad moments, where is there improvement? Because then, we are going to think we are always right, we are always on point and that is not human nature. We need to improve every single day, we need to be vulnerable and humble to accept that sometimes you cannot do it and you fail sometimes and that sometimes you are not doing the correct things and that is what happened to me the last year."
