New York City FC Head Coach Ronny Deila has praised Jesus Medina’s work ethic.
Medina, 24, has started the 2021 MLS regular season in fine form, scoring three goals during the club’s opening three games. Equally as impressive has been the player’s work off the ball, with the Paraguayan in the top 5 in MLS for distance covered so far this season.
“He trains much better,” Deila said of Medina. “Every day he goes to training and tries to improve. He is training as he plays. He has built up a great physique. He is the guy that has run the most [for NYCFC] in MLS so far, and that says something about his development.
