Ready for action

Mostly out of boredom while waiting for the TV interviews to finish at Preki's press conference, I picked up the Chivas USA ball that their new coach displayed in this picture. I was still holding it when Preki came over for print interviews.

"Hey, you want to play? No problem," he said. I knew by his smile that he hadn't forgotten how he scored during the Chivas USA media game.

Preki is going to practically be a player-coach. He's out on the field mixing it up with the squad every day. I've seen him participate in finishing drills where he smokes the other Chivas USA players. Honestly, I don't know if it lights a fire under them or demoralizes them a bit.
