Pontus Jansson did a ‘Cruyff Turn’ during the Championship game between Leeds United and Blackburn Rovers.
Leeds United central defender Pontus Jansson has responded to his club posting a video of him on Twitter doing a ‘Cruyff Turn’ during the match against Blackburn Rovers.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side got the better of Blackburn 3-2 at Elland Road in the Championship on Boxing Day.
Kemar Roofe was the star of the show for Leeds, as the striker scored twice in injury time.
Jansson featured for Leeds in the game, and at one point, the Sweden international central defender did a ‘Cruyff Turn’.
Leeds have posted the video on their official Twitter page, and the 27-year-old central defender has replied to the post.
Jansson is one of the best central defenders in the Championship, and his performances for Leeds in recent weeks have been very encouraging.
The Swede is very comfortable on the ball, and he is also brilliant in the opposition’s penalty box during set-pieces.
Jansson joined Leeds on a season-long loan deal from Torino in the summer of 2016 and made the move permanent in the summer of 2017 for a fee reported by The Yorkshire Evening Post to be worth £3.5 million.
