Sarvas has been a vital role player for LA Galaxy in their last two MLS Cup Championships. The witty midfielder has been a pinpoint distributor of the ball as well as an unrivaled presence in the middle of the field, but his exposure has been limited given the amount of star power surrounding him while in LA.
Since arriving in LA, Sarvas has been playing alongside the likes of Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane, and David Beckham. While a great supporting cast, the big 3 also had a tendency to attract most of the media attention. Now however, Sarvas is on a new team, a team in desperate need of a play maker. In Colorado, the Brazilian will have more room to show his creative side on a team, good news for a team whose offense can turn invisible for halves at a time.
