Marcelos Sarvas has been unveiled by LA Galaxy as a new signing,

out of the MLS Drafting System. With Juninho heading back to

Sao Paulo, the spotlight is on Marcelos Sarvas as to whether he will

be able to fill the shoes of Juninho.

Bruce Arena Spoke “Highly” of Marcelos Sarvas

Bruce Arena shed light on Marcelos Sarvas, speaking highly of the player

who previously crossed swords with LA Galaxy as the captain of Costa Rican

outfit Alajuelense during the CONCACAF Champions League matches. In one

of the matches, Alajuelense beat LA Galaxy 1-0. During the post-match

interview, Beckham noted that the Alajuelense were a formidable opponent

who had bested them on that occasion.

Upon searching “Marcelos Sarvas” in Youtube, the following video revealed

the playing style of Marcelos Sarvas. He was a penalty taker for Alajuelense,

and showed great technique and long-range shooting from outside the box.

His long shots are reminiscent of the famous “Long-Range Bombs” of Juninho.

What is Your peronal assessment of Marcelos Sarvas?

The Beckham-Sarvas Partnership?

I will like to see Marcelos Sarvas playing alongside David Beckham and

watch them play off each other. I see Sarvas taking on a more defensive

role while Beckham will concentrate on play-making and the offense plays

of LA Galaxy.

Sarvas has shown that he is able to make penetrating runs and also to

make surging runs with the ball as well. As such, Sarvas and Beckham

can rotate the offensive and defensive roles. One will cover for defence

while the other will move forward. It will be great if Marcelos Sarvas,

David Beckham and Ronaldinho can form a midfield triumvirate.

Have a look at BeckhamGalaxy Recommended signing of Ronaldinho.

But of  course, Marcelos Sarvas is a new signing and he may take some

time to build an understanding with the rest of the players, and to familiarize

with LA Galaxy’s playing style. Sarvas has to be able to adapt accordingly, and

also pick up conversational English,  and to build a good rapport with the other

players.

Only Time Can Tell

Fans of LA Galaxy should wait for the pre-season games to watch Marcelos

Sarvas in action and how he figures in the tactics and formation line-ups

of Coach Bruce Arena.

In the worst-case scenario with Beckham and Juninho gone, I expect the pairing

of Chris Birchall and Marcelos Sarvas in the middle of midfield. It is just that

Birchall will take on more defensive role of the central midfielder. With the

inclusion of Marcelos Sarvas in the team, it is great for LA Galaxy as they will

need the strength of depth in the squad to challenge for the MLS, US Open and

CONCACAF Champions League. Not to mention that there is also Paolo Cardoza

and Michael Stephens, young midfielders who are ready to take up any

first-team opportunities.

LA Galaxy fans, let me hear from you!

The above does not represent LA Galaxy’s official position and is simply a frank

recommendation by BeckhamGalaxy. This is Terry Becker of BeckhamGalaxy,

signing off and we will like to hear any fan’s opinion with regards to Marcelos

Sarvas =)
