“He was like, ‘do you want it?,” Llanez said of Arriola. So when Reggie Cannon got his feet tangled with Costa Rica’s midfielder Randall Leal and went down in the box, drawing a penalty minutes after the intermission, Llanez went straight to the spot. But with Diego Rossi away on international duty, Perez is getting a look in training camp. Soccer Adrien Perez aims to make the most of another chance with LAFCĪdrien Perez didn’t play much in his first season with LAFC. “Since I was 14, I wanted to play in the stadium. That made Saturday’s homecoming, played before more than 50 friends and family members, special. Llanez spent four years in the Galaxy academy, but after growing uncertain he’d ever get a game chance to play for the MLS team which makes that stadium home, he left 15 months ago to pursue options in Germany.
None performed better than Llanez, who grew up in Lynwood, a dozen miles from Dignity Health Sports Park where Saturday’s game was played. “We were very comfortable that they would be able to perform today.” And it was nice to see them grow throughout the month,” Berhalter said.
“We were training for four weeks now and we knew the age of our guys, we knew the capabilities of our guys. He also used three 20-year-olds in Sam Vines, Mark McKenzie and Brandon Servania. In addition to Llanez, 18, and Ferreira, 19, Berhalter started another teenager in 19-year-old Brenden Aaronson. If that’s the test, the Costa Rica match was something of a pop quiz. “It’s an opportunity for guys to step up, be battle-tested in the CONCACAF qualifying format, and learn from it,” Berhalter said.
