+---- Thread: First training session in Catalunya (/showthread.php?tid=3617)
- trella - 2023-04-10
Since being loaned to FC Catalunya, Wesley Stains has been training hard in order to fit in better with his new squad’s tactical style. While Stains played all of last season as a center midfielder, it seems likely that he will be used more as an attacking threat with Catalunya, playing left attacking midfield. While Stains’ overall game is solid, he still has lots of room to improve, especially when it comes to physicals, namely agility, balance, and strength. To be able to physically outmatch defenders, Stains has spent many hours in the weight room, improving on his core to become stronger and more well balanced. He has also been working on his footwork to become more agile, making it easier to dribble past opposing defenders.
As a side effect of playing most of his career in the center mid, Stains has not found himself in too many positions to score throughout his career so far. Because of this, his composure needs some work. Stains has been working hard on the pitch, working on his finishing close to the goal with strong pressure from defenders and the goalie. Hopefully creating game-like situations will help Stains improve his mental game, making him more composed when trying to score goals.
