The situation
Leeds United played their last friendly against Cagliari and ended with a lopsided victory (6-2). A few days before the Premier League begins, Rodrigo Moreno (31 years old) arrives with three goals scored in the last game . After Raphinha’s departure to Barcelona this summer, the weight of the attack falls a little more on Rodrigo, hoping that this will be his explosion season in English football. Leeds has managed to bring reinforcements to the English club with the signing of Sinisterra. Faced with this situation, the Spanish striker stands, who wants to make the leap and become important for the English club . After the game against Cagliari in which he showed that he still has a goal, the coach, Marsch, had this to say: “It’s not always easy, but he is very receptive to positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement and honesty. The more you give him, the more he wants. I like guys like that. ” On the other hand, he has sought to reinforce that offensive part more to try to make up for the loss left by the Brazilian. Leeds have tested the option of signing Kalimuendo , a PSG striker who played on loan at Lens, but as of today not much more is known.
Sights set on Qatar 2022
This year is the World Cup year, despite the fact that it is held in November. As it is a World Cup year, all the players want to give the best of themselves to be able to attend the event. This was not going to be different for Rodrigo and it seems that he is already beginning to demonstrate it. With this last game he wants to make it clear that he wants to be Leeds’ offensive reference. If this match is not a mirage and Rodrigo recovers the level that he showed in Valencia, he could be a clear candidate to be the ‘9’ of Spain for the World Cup . It must be remembered that he was already summoned to the 2018 World Cup and has also been present in previous calls by the current coach, Luis Enrique.
