Vela proves vs. Galaxy that his commitment to LAFC is not in question

El Trafico lived up to the hype again as Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice in a 3-3 draw between LA Galaxy and LAFC. To watch MLS, sign up for ESPN+.

LOS ANGELES — The personality differences between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Carlos Vela on either side of the LA Galaxy-LAFC divide are stark.

While the Swede is a magnet for media attention and often a sharp operator in manipulating it, the Cancun native is a reticent figure who doesn’t seek the limelight and has grown in Los Angeles in large part because of how at ease he and his family are off the field.

Ibrahimovic and Vela do, however, share a role as difference-makers for their teams,…
