Greek striker Giorgos Giakoumakis, who recently made the switch from Atlanta United to Cruz Azul for a reported $10 million transfer fee, criticized MLS and said it’s “okay to lose” there. “Since Cruz Azul became interested in me, I started watching all the games,” he said in a press conference. “The level here [in LIGA MX] is higher. So I was really excited and wanted to make this happen.” “Cruz Azul is a team that’s a level higher than MLS for sure and it’s a team that’s chasing records and trophies.” “I love to work for this sort of teams because the expectations are high. It’s not okay to lose, that’s the bad thing in MLS. There it’s okay to lose and I hated it.” Giakoumakis took MLS by storm last year by scoring 17 goals in 27 games. He had five goals in 11 games this year before deciding to leave for México. Previously, he’s played in the Netherlands, Scotland, and Poland.
