Leeds United in the Prem Act 1 - plot twists, heroes and villains
Transcript
00:00Cool. Do you want to do a quick internationals roundup? Obviously, England beat Leeds. Rodon scored again, then conceded for, so kind of a good news and bad news. But it's interesting how much of a threat he seems to have been in the past few weeks out of kind of nowhere.
00:16Yeah, it is funny. And Farka talked about it today and he was asked about Joe Rodon. And he said, and it sounded like he was joking, but then he followed it up with, I'm not even joking, that one of his greatest achievements is making Joe Rodon a threat from attacking set pieces.
00:33Because when he arrived, he was a player who was very, very strong in the air defensively. And he makes first contact so many times in his own box and defending aerial balls. He makes first contact and gets into position to head the ball at goal so many times in the opposition box. But he was just a complete 50p head and the ball would go here, there and everywhere. It was almost like he was a tremendous defensive asset for the opposition when he got his head on a corner.
01:01Should have had more goals last season, definitely. Scored one, didn't he? Who did he score against? Did he score it?
01:10Yes, because it was a game where he kind of, he'd only scored one ever before that.
01:14Was it Derby County?
01:15Was it Derby County? Away?
01:19Someone, I'm sure people will be screaming.
01:22Yeah, I don't care. But yeah, it was someone like that. And yeah, scored himself a goal. This season, he can't stop scoring goals.
01:31Now, he's off and running. And he got one at international level as well, which must have felt amazing.
01:40You know, he's played a lot of games for Wales, a huge amount of games for Wales for a man of his age.
01:46And to get it in such a big game as well. And, you know, things didn't go their way.
01:49And he's the kind of player that will say, well, I would rather have won than scored.
01:54But at the same time, what a special minute, what a special moment for him.
01:58So, what a special moment for him.
