Joseph Paintsil switches attention to Leagues Cup clash against Pachuca after Inter Miami defeat

Ghana winger Joseph Paintsil says Los Angeles Galaxy are ready for the Leagues Cup quarter-final clash against Mexican giants Pachuca on Wednesday. 

The in-form forward, who netted in the 3-1 defeat to Inter Miami on Sunday, believes his teammates have recovered from the setback in the MLS and will be up for the task in California.

“Yeah, we are ready, not only me, the team is really ready. We have lost everything in this season, even though we have some few games left. But the most important thing for us as a team is just to focus on this Wednesday because it's really important. We just have to go all-out," he said after the game against Miami.

"Blood or sweat, we just have to do everything to win in our home game because now we have an advantage to play a home game. And we play in our home game, we need to show the collections and the individual player and as a team play, also, because we have to win on Wednesday no matter what. There is no excuses for us anymore," he added.

Paintsil, one of the leading scorers in the competition, has called on fans of LA Galaxy to come out in numbers to support the team.

We just need to give the supporters what is they need because this season has been ups and downs for us; and the only thing that we can take home is just to focus on this Cup game and also the Campeones game ahead of us, and we just have to see whatever that comes out. But we have to win and just go to the next stage no matter what.”
