When Chivas USA and the Galaxy announced a press conference to discuss their upcoming game, it was announced as Galaxy coach Frank Yallop and Galaxy players; Chivas USA coach Preki and Chivas USA players. For Chivas USA, I figured that Ante Razov would be there. I thought the other guy might have been Claudio Suarez since they probably wanted to have one of their Spanish-speakers there. But then I thought the most logical would be Amado Guevara, their prized offseason acquisition.So I was surprised to hear that Maykel Galindo would be at the press conference instead of Guevara.
After the Galaxy game, maybe there was a reason Amado wasn't the one to represent the team's colors in front of the media. After all, Preki questioned Amado's defense of the Chivas jersey after the 3-1 loss at the post-match press conference. Now, I'm just speculating here. I don't have any sort of reason or anything, but sometimes actions speak much louder than words.
Here's an audio link to what Preki had to say about the game in general and about taking out Amado Guevara.
Here's Amado's own thoughts on the matter (en espanol, por supuesto).

Amado sounds like he's on the verge of losing his respect for Preki and CUSA. He keepe mentioning how he doesn't want to lose respect for his coach and the decisions he makes. I think he's referring to Preki not losing repect for Guevara. What's so wrong with admitting you had an off night? Is this guy's head screwed on right? It's not like he's hte Landon Donovan on CUSA.
Um, they traded their DP slot for Amado Guevara. If that's not saying he's supposed to be "the man," then I don't know what is. Granted, he doesn't make DP money -but he's what they got. He needs to be held accountable.
Guevara needs to sit out the first half of the next game. He should watch how his teamates play without him and then adjust. I GET THE FEELING THAT CUSA TEAM EXECS DON'T GET "IT". Giving up that DP slot could brought us something better that what AG has shown in 4 games. CUSA fans aren't being fooled either, hence the 11,000 fans per game.
Honestly, Preki looked ready kick Guevara's a** when he took him out. Merlin and Cunliffe looked for real. I hope they play together more.
