Example Sentences
For Pec, the Galaxy’s spectacular 23-year-old winger, the change started last February, when he left Brazilian club Vasco da Gama, the only team he had ever known.
With Pec, they won 19 games for the first time in 13 years, matched the franchise modern-era record for goals and came within a tiebreaker of their first regular-season conference title since 2011.
But if Pec’s arrival brought success for the Galaxy, for the player escaping the strict style of Vasco it brought something more important.
Only three players in franchise history — Cobi Jones, Robbie Keane and Ibrahimovic — have had more regular-season goal contributions and Pec did it in his first year, earning the league’s newcomer of the year award.
Although Pec is a fast, powerful, skilled and savvy attacker, when he arrived in MLS he was a “heels on the sideline” left winger, Vanney said, one who waited for the ball to come to him.
