Marc Roca has spoken highly about Leeds United and stated that they are an ‘amazing club’ and it is ‘incredible’ sharing this experience with ‘everyone’ associated with the team.
It has been several months since Roca swapped Bayern Munich colours for that of Leeds for £10 million (Sky Sports) and the midfielder has shared that he is ‘very happy’ in Yorkshire, as he told the club’s official podcast.
It wouldn’t have been easy for Roca to swap Bayern colours for that of Leeds because he was joining a team that had just survived relegation by the skin of their teeth from the previous campaign.
On top of that, Jesse Marsch had just lost two senior figures from his dressing room in Raphinha, who joined Barcelona and fan favourite, Kalvin Phillips, who moved to the Etihad.
It meant that players like Roca had big shoes to fill, but after seven Premier League games in, it has been a steady start to life at Elland Road for the player, as he praised the club.
“I am very happy here,” said Roca. “I am very happy being in Leeds and playing in this amazing club. I share this moment with my teammate, with my staff and with everyone that is here with us is incredible. And I am very happy.”
CAN LEEDS CHANGE INDIFFERENT FORM?
The recent cancellation of games haven’t helped Leeds’ cause because, by the time they host Aston Villa after the international break, it would have been nearly one month since they were in action.
What makes matters worse is that their last game played was a 5-2 away defeat to Brentford, and in those circumstances, players want to get back out there as quick as possible.
Either way, it has been an indifferent start from Marsch’s boys and he will want his players to go down a consistent run of form when players return from national duty.
Whilst Aston Villa have picked up four points from their last two matches, there is a bit of an injury crisis in the Midlands and the pressure is still well and truly on Steven Gerrard, so the Whites will be backing themselves to secure the points here.
