Coach Bob Bradley lauds Latif Blessing’s contribution to LAFC’s attack

Published on: 22 September 2019

Head coach for Los Angeles FC, Bob Bradley has applauded the contributions of Ghanaian attacker Latif Blessing to the attack of his team.

The winger has been outstanding for LAFC since the start of the MLS season and continues to perform at top level during every matchday.

The former Liberty Professionals man was at it again on Saturday when LAFC drew 1-1 with Toronto FC at the Banc of California Stadium.

A late penalty goal from Carlos Vela salvaged a point for Bob Bradley’s men after Tsubasa Endoh had given Toronto the lead on the 19th minute.

Speaking on Latif Blessing’s performance at the end of the match, the American tactician shared that the Ghanaian often times does not get the credit he deserves.

Bradley explained. “He has a very good understanding. Sometimes he doesn’t get enough credit for his positional awareness. Yes, he can scoop loose balls and put pressure on anyone from the other team. But what we have in Latif is a midfield-3 who is in sync and makes it difficult for the opponent to control the game.”

Latif, 22, has netted 6 goals and has provided 5 assists for LAFC in the ongoing campaign after making 31 appearances.
