Rossi double helps LAFC get revenge on MLS champions Seattle Los Angeles (AFP) – Diego Rossi scored twice in a 4-1 rout of champions Seattle Sounders as Los Angeles FC secured a quarter-final place in the MLS is Back Tournament on Monday. Rossi scored an early penalty and then snaked through the defence for a second eight minutes from time in the battle between the two Western Conference heavyweights. Latif Blessing in the 39th minute and Brian Rodriguez in the 89th also got on the scoresheet for LAFC at the tournament in Orlando, Florida. It marked a measure of revenge for LAFC who lost to Seattle 3-1 in last year’s Western Conference final. Seattle went on to beat Toronto for the MLS championship. LAFC were missing star striker Carlos Vela, who scored a league record 34 goals in 2019, but opted out of this competition for family health reasons. Rossi was brought down by Xavier Arreaga in the 14th minute but got up to slot home the penalty. He embarrassed Arreaga again in the 82nd minute when he knocked through his legs before firing a low shot past goalkeeper Stefan Frei and could have had more goals if he had capitalized on numerous chances. Sounders’ elimination comes one day after New York City sent Toronto FC packing with a 3-1 win in a rematch of last year’s Eastern Conference semi-final. Earlier, the San Jose Earthquakes continued their impressive tournament run by reaching the quarter-finals with a 5-2 defeat of Real Salt Lake. The teams were locked 1-1 at half-time after Cristian Espinoza’s 21st-minute opener for San Jose was pegged back a minute later by Douglas Martinez. But Magnus Eriksson put San Jose in front with the first of two second-half penalties in the 49th minute. Vako made it 3-1 before Salt Lake’s Damir Kreilach got one back in the 75th minute. Chris Wondolowski in the 86th minute and Eriksson then sealed the victory for San Jose who will next face either Columbus or Minnesota United on Saturday. “The team is growing game after game, showing a very positive attitude, their unity, their sacrifice, but more than anything is how they play,” San Jose coach Matias Almeyda said. “The best thing for a coach is being able to get the max level out of each individual player because I know that will allow us to have growth.” The “MLS is Back” tournament is being staged at a single location in Orlando, Florida after a four-month shutdown because of the coronavirus pandemic. The tournament champion will earn a place in the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League.

China will limit their boys from Brazil, says top FA official Shanghai (AFP) – China’s football squad will be limited to “three or four” Brazil-born players, a senior official told AFP, as ex-Chelsea star Oscar expressed an interest in becoming the latest Brazilian to represent the world’s most populous country. Unless there is a radical policy change by FIFA, the Shanghai SIPG attacking midfielder will not be able to play for China because he has featured in competitive games for Brazil, including at the 2014 World Cup. But it is indicative of a landmark shift in Chinese football that Oscar said: “I can think about (playing for China) because, as I said, it’s difficult to go to the Brazilian national team now because I’m here.” Oscar, who moved from Chelsea for an Asian-record 60 million euros in January 2017, has seen Guangzhou Evergrande’s Brazil-born forwards Elkeson and Aloisio called up by China in the past year as they seek to qualify for the next World Cup in 2022. At least three more Brazilians, also attackers, have become naturalised or are close to doing so, according to media. But Chinese Football Association secretary-general Liu Yi laughed off the notion that ambitious China will turn into a team of Brazilians in a quick fix to reach the World Cup in Qatar. President Xi Jinping wants China to become a football superpower but the country has made the World Cup only once, in 2002, when they left without a point or a goal. “We had a little bit of concern when we gave the passport to Elkeson or whoever,” Liu said in a rare interview by a senior Chinese football official. “But the good thing is that, dramatically, Chinese fans love to have a few (naturalised) players in the squad as long as they can make the Chinese team better and take us to the World Cup, hopefully Qatar 2022. “I don’t see any resistance, honestly, but we need to develop. It’s not a long-term strategy or approach.” Liu, speaking before Oscar’s comments came to light this week, added: “We’re not going to have two-thirds of the squad from Brazil. “We might have two or three, three or four probably, but that’s it.” – Thwarting the virus – The English-speaking Liu, 48, who took on the senior post in August last year, was talking from Suzhou, one of two cities hosting matches in this year’s rejigged Chinese Super League. The CSL kicked off on Saturday, five months late and behind closed doors because of the coronavirus pandemic. As part of strict safety measures, eight teams are stationed at a single hotel in Suzhou, near Shanghai, and the other eight in Dalian. Players cannot see their families for two months. Dalian has seen a small cluster of infections in recent days and China recorded 68 cases nationally on Tuesday, the highest daily figure since April, although still far lower than many countries. Liu said that while the first round of matches went “better than expected” and the small resurgence of the virus has had no real impact, he is on guard. “We have another 13 rounds of the competition so this is just the start of the entire process,” he cautioned. Several football leagues in Europe and Asia returned from the virus before the CSL, but Liu said: “Our central government, and I think it’s correct, they are more cautious about the lives. “We were the first country and Wuhan was the first city to have an outbreak of the virus so we’re more cautious about what we’re doing, especially sporting and cultural events. “Yes, it was a bit longer than everybody thought, but it’s worthwhile,” he added. “At the moment I can say that we are very safe, we’re playing the competition in a very safe and comfortable environment.” Liu said that shelving the CSL for 2020 was never an option, even as the delay and pandemic dragged on, but the CFA will not be afraid to suspend play if a player or coach tests positive. “We’re definitely going to put a brake on the season, but it would be very unlikely that we’d cancel it,” Liu said.

Brazilian star Oscar says he would play for China Shanghai (AFP) – Former Chelsea attacking midfielder Oscar says he would be willing to ditch his Brazilian passport to play for China — if FIFA changed its rules. Oscar, who moved from the Premier League to Chinese Super League side Shanghai SIPG for a still-Asian-record 60 million euros in January 2017, made the last of his 48 appearances for Brazil in 2015. Under current rules, the 28-year-old cannot switch to play for another country because he featured for Brazil in official competition, including the 2014 World Cup in his homeland. Asked by state broadcaster CGTN if he would consider playing for China if the naturalisation rules changed, Oscar replied: “I can think about it because, as I said, it’s difficult to go to the Brazilian national team now because I’m here. “But in China everyone sees how good I play so if in the end the China national team needs a good midfielder, I think I can help if they change. “I like China but the players now, if they change the nationality to go to China, they (the team) can do better.” As a quick fix to boost their Qatar 2022 World Cup hopes, China last year began naturalising a few players who had no family links to the world’s most populous country. The first was Brazilian-born striker Elkeson, 31, who is now known as Ai Kesen and has played four times for China, scoring three goals. At least two other Brazilians are believed to have been naturalised since. Oscar has been one of the top players in the Chinese Super League since arriving from Chelsea and topped the assists charts over the past two seasons. SIPG begin their CSL campaign later Monday against Tianjin Teda at a neutral venue behind closed doors, part of measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus infections.

New York upset Toronto to reach MLS last eight, avenge playoff loss Los Angeles (AFP) – Valentin Castellanos and Maxi Moralez scored second-half goals as New York City FC reached the quarter-finals of the MLS is Back Tournament with a 3-1 win over Toronto FC on Sunday. Moralez finished with a goal and an assist as New York won the battle between two heavyweights from the East and reached the next stage of the tournament. They next face the winner of another knockout round contest on Tuesday between the Portland Timbers and FC Cincinnati. Jesus Medina, in the fifth minute, and Castellanos, in the 55th, gave New York City a 2-0 lead before Moralez scored the third in the 81st at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Florida. Patrick Mullins scored the lone goal for Toronto in the 87th minute in the much-anticipated rematch of the Eastern Conference semi-final from last year. Sunday’s win was a measure of revenge for New York who came into the knockout round through the backdoor as a third place team in the group stage. They lost in the playoffs last year to Toronto but can now claim bragging rights in this tournament. Castellanos got the crucial second goal after Moralez released him down the left flank with a long ball from midfield. Castellanos collected and created some space before hammering a shot inside the far post. Medina had taken advantage of a poor clearance to open the scoring for New York and Moralez sealed victory by finishing off a Herber back heel. The “MLS is Back” tournament is being staged at a single location in Orlando, Florida after a four-month shutdown because of the coronavirus pandemic. The MLS is Back champion will earn a place in the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League.

‘We have to be better’ demands Van Bronckhorst after China debut loss Shanghai (AFP) – Giovanni van Bronckhorst said his Guangzhou R&F side must move on quickly from “a very disappointing night” after a 3-0 defeat in the former Barcelona star’s first match as a coach in the Chinese Super League. Ex-Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mousa Dembele conceded a penalty, one of two given away by R&F, as they began the coronavirus-delayed season by losing to Roberto Donadoni’s Shenzhen. Van Bronckhorst, a Champions League winner with Barcelona in 2006, will need to lift his squad quickly for a derby clash with Fabio Cannavaro’s reigning CSL champions Guangzhou Evergrande on Thursday. “Overall a very disappointing night for myself, for the team, for the club, not being able to start the league with that first win,” said the 45-year-old former Dutch captain following Sunday’s defeat behind closed doors in Dalian. Van Bronckhorst, who also played for Arsenal and moved to China following a successful spell as Feyenoord coach, was particularly unhappy that R&F conceded two penalties in quick succession. Shenzhen scored both, in the 64th and 70th minutes, with R&F already trailing at half-time thanks to an own goal. For the first penalty, the 33-year-old Dembele caught Li Yuanyi’s heel in the box. “I don’t think he’s creating any danger (Li), the player goes away from goal and in the 18-yard box you have to keep him in front of you,” said Van Bronckhorst. “I think this is a penalty we could have avoided.” Van Bronckhorst added: “We have 13 games to go and we have to be in much better shape for the coming games because the way we played today is not the way I want to see and not the way we can play.” The CSL kicked off on Saturday five months late because of the coronavirus with all matches played in Suzhou or Dalian and behind closed doors in a revamped format.
