This week, Canadian Defender Josée Bélanger joined the Orlando Pride for their second week of training. The veteran defender brings with her a strong set of versatile skills that will hopefully help the Orlando Pride create a strong attacking defense.
Bélanger, who spent last season with the Swedish club FC Rosengård, started off as a forward. But when the Canadian National Team needed her, Bélanger stepped into the role of fullback, focusing on her defensive skills while still maintaining a strong attacking game. “I think slowly I kind of prefer now to play as a fullback. I think it goes more with my strength,” Bélanger said after training on Friday.
