Joseph Paintsil needs to get finishing at top speed back – LA Galaxy Head Coach

Los Angeles Galaxy head coach, Greg Vanney, has given an update on Ghana winger Joseph Paintsil’s level of performance after Paintsil’s return to action after a spell out due to a muscle injury.

He said this in a post-game interview after the Galaxy’s 2-1 win over Minnesota United marking Galaxy’s third win in four games.

Paintsil played out the entire duration of the game and missed a big chance to get a goal in the game and Vanney addressed the issue in his presser.

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