Prior to their matchup with Toluca in the Campeone Cup final, Joseph Paintsil has been buoyed by his hat-trick performance for the Los Angeles Galaxy.
When the MLS champions play the Mexican team on Wednesday, the in-form Ghanaian—who scored a treble against Sporting Kansas City on Saturday—is anticipated to start at the top of the lineup.
Paintsil thinks the match against Toluca was a perfect opportunity to capture his second championship with LA Galaxy.
Yes, it does boost my confidence, but I also have the self-assurance to play these kinds of games, such as the Campeones Cup match. He remarked, “I’m waiting for it to give everything I have.”
“I think this hat trick really boost my confidence. For that, I will just take it into the game on Wednesday and to give everything and the team gives everything and we just see whatever will happen,” he added.
Paintsil has scored 13 goals and delivered three assists across all competitions for LA Galaxy this season.
