Joe Rodon has told the Yorkshire Evening Post that Daniel Farke has been “incredible” since the first day the Tottenham Hotspur defender arrived at Leeds United on loan – praising his style of football.
Rodon, 26, has been sensational for Leeds since joining. After three difficult years in which he joined Tottenham in 2020 but struggled to get game time over the next two years, he joined Rennes in 2022.
His form was decent in France but it did not jump off the page. It was clear that Rodon needed a home. Leeds was perfect. Some of his Wales teammates, a footballing side, under a manager Rodon knows.
At least, having played against him in the Championship. Rodon shares just how “incredible” Farke has been in the dugout since the Welsh defender was brought in on loan by The 49ers, in the summer.
“Since the first day I walked through the doors he’s incredible and he made me feel right at home and settle in very quickly, not just the boss but his people as well. I’ve had meetings against the boss.
“I know exactly what style he likes. It suits me down to the ground. The standards he demands every day are exceptional and important. I’m loving every minute of it, long may it continue this whole season.”
Joe Rodon says Leeds manager Daniel Farke has been incredible
Everyone seems to be pulling together. Whether it be players in the starting XI, the management team or even squad players that are struggling to get minutes. The YEP shared what Ian Poveda did on Saturday.
When everything is going in the right direction, as it is at Leeds, points are on the board. Confidence is flowing. Leeds have won six of seven and three in a row, just eight points separating us from the top two.
If Rodon, Farke and Leeds can keep this run going then that number will only begin to reduce as Ipswich inevitably drop off. Leicester have lost two in a row and it will be interesting to see how they regroup.
