LA Galaxy coach Greg Vanney assesses Joseph Paintsil's performance after injury return

Following LA Galaxy's 2-1 victory over Minnesota United, their third win in four games, coach Greg Vanney shared his thoughts on Ghanaian winger Joseph Paintsil's performance.

Paintsil, who played the entire match, missed a key chance to score, prompting Vanney's comments during the post-game press conference.

"When he is decelerating, he’s trying to be perfect with it and sometimes, he just needs to do things at top speed and you can have a better chance," Vanney explained.

"He’s got the sprint repeatability back now, he just needs to get the sharpness of doing things at top speed, which is the next thing that just needs to come back so he’s there.

He’s in good spots which we like and I think the rest of it will start to fall in place.”

Despite this missed opportunity, Paintsil has contributed significantly with six goals and four assists in 19 games for LA Galaxy, showcasing his value to the team as they progress through the MLS season.
