LA Galaxy head coach Greg Vanney has revealed how is working on turning Sebastian Lletget into more of an attacking threat.
The USMNT midfielder is a steady presence for the Galaxy, expertly keeping possession ticking with precision passing and composure.
But a criticism often levelled at the 29-year-old is a lack of output in the final third relative to his ability. Indeed, prior to the Galaxy's 2-2 draw with FC Dallas on Saturday, Lletget had managed just 28 goals and 20 assists in 173 appearances for the club.
But Lletget was deployed in a much more advanced role as a half-time substitute on Saturday and found space in the box with a late run to score an 83rd-minute equaliser as LA came from 2-0 down against Dallas, just his second MLS goal of the season.
Speaking to reporters after the match, Vanney revealed he had been working closely with Lletget to get more out of him in the final third.
