Legendary Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini praised LAFC (Los Angeles FC) junior Son Heung-min and Dennis Vuanga. In Korea, attention is being paid to whether those called Heungbu Duo will be able to win the league this season.
The U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) said on its official website on the 24th (Korea time) "Legendary Italian defender Chiellini recently assessed that Son Heung-min's newly formed partnership with Dnie Vuanga could lead LAFC to its second league championship."," he said.
Kielini, who joined LAFC's management this summer, is constantly watching LAFC in Italy. Chiellini reportedly witnessed changes in the team after Son Heung-min joined from Tottenham last month with the highest transfer fee ever in MLS.
Kielini said "The beginning of the season was like a rollercoaster. We didn't produce consistent results in the away game"The team lost a lot of points, and we lost our happiness and joy, too. But Son Heung-min got it back."
He added "It's the same for the players in the locker room as well as the fans. Now, you can feel the atmosphere at every goal ceremony"Most of them think it's a change made by Son Heung-min's joining."
Son Heung-min has established himself as a clear game changer in terms of performance. He scored six goals and three assists in seven games, and scored his first MLS hat trick in an away match against Real Salt Lake. The biggest beneficiary of joining Son Heung-min is by far Dennis Vuang. After Son Heung-min joined, Buanga scored nine goals and one assist, and has scored hat tricks in two of the last three games. Buanga is tied for the top scorer (22 goals) with Inter Miami's Lionel Messi.

Chiellini said of Buanga "He enjoys playing football, and he likes to keep pushing himself"I'm still young and I have enough stamina, so I can show this steady performance. It's possible to run around throughout the game."
The mission of Son Heung-min and Buanga is heavy. This postseason is the last playoff led by LAFC coach Steve Cherundolo. Cherundolo announced that he would put down his baton after the end of this season. The goal of Son Heung-min and Buanga is to release the trophy on the way to Cherundolo's departure.
Chiellini says "I have a very close relationship with Steve Cherundolo. For him, this is the last few months"I want everyone to go all the way and lift the trophy"
