Perhaps he was so upset because he just found out that he wasn’t his new team’s first choice signing?
Galaxy coach Bruce Arena has revealed that he tried to sign Chelsea legend Frank Lampard last summer.
Arena tried hard to get Lampard, only for him to choose New York City instead.
Galaxy then waited patiently before picking up Gerrard on a free a year later.

“We recruited Frank pretty hard here,” Arena told The Mirror. “The deal was close.”
He added: “We talk to pretty much every single player that is interested in coming to the US and certainly when you hear Frank Lampard is willing, you’re gonna have a lengthly conversation.
“I got to know Frank and visited him in London and he’s a fabulous person and player and he’s really going to help football here in America. He’s going to do really well.”
