The Swedish striker refers to the fact that in MLS - just like in the NHL (ice hockey), NBA (basketball), NFL (American football) and MLB (baseball) - there are two divisions, the Eastern and Western Conference, before the season is decided in an endgame.
- You talk about mentality and to me it applies every day. It is about training and how you train reflects on the matches. For me, the results of the matches are very important. But here you can come in seventh place, still reach the playoffs and win. So how do you create such a mentality so that you stay on your toes 24 hours a day? It is very difficult, says Ibrahimovic.
The LA Galaxy is currently in fifth place in the Western Conference. The seven best teams in each division go to the playoffs.
