Joe Rodon: Everyone is making an impact | OneFootball

Leeds United’s impressive run of form continued during the week with another important home victory over Norwich City.

Keeping a clean sheet at Elland Road, goals from Manor Solomon and Dan James ensured the Whites claimed all three points.

After back-to-back Sky Bet Championship wins on home turf without conceding a goal, defender Joe Rodon was full of praise for his teammates, as he spoke to LUTV.

“I think when you are winning, it is always happy around you,” the Wales international explained. “We just want to keep adding and putting points on the board.

“I think everyone knows the schedule is, you know, it is carnage. The good thing is, of course, everyone wants to play and I think we have a very hungry group here and the players who don’t play and then come in, they make an impact.

“That is the most important thing because as we go back and talk about the schedule, we are going to need everyone. We saw that last year. It is a very long season.

“It is a demanding physical league. So, I think it is a credit to the boys who aren’t getting as many minutes as others, when they come in, they make an impact. And like I said, we are going to need everyone and I feel like everyone is chipping in this year.

“You can be physically prepared as you want, but it is the mentality which is the difference. I think what happened to us last year is only going to make us more hungry and determined in what we want to do this year.

“Of course, we know the role we take. We are at Leeds United and we know the pressure that comes with that. So, every player here knows the role, knows the job we need to do.”

After victory over the Canaries, attentions very quickly turn to Monday’s clash away against Burnley, a challenge Rodon believes his teammates are excited for.

“We don’t look past each game. We take each game as it comes. And like I said, the most important game now is next Monday, and that is all we look to, and we will look to go and win the game.

“As we all know, they are a very strong team and they are doing very well. Like I said, they are very, very hard to break down, as you have seen in the table.

“So, I think it is just going to be another important week for us, where the boys are going to knuckle down and work hard. We have a bit of time to prepare, which is always nice and good.

“But not just Burnley’s defence, their attack as well – they are up there for a reason. They score goals also, so all their team is very strong and we respect that.

“We know it is going to be a very, very difficult game. So, you know, all we can do is prepare as we always do and hopefully on the night, we are there and we are successful.”
