RODRIGO: IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE FEELING - Leedsunited.com 19/3/22
After scoring the equalising goal on the way to a dramatic late comeback away at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday night, Rodrigo chatted with LUTV.
The Spanish international showed a clinical touch and
pounced on his opportunity in the box to fire home, after Sam Greenwood had
created the chance.
After being two-goals down going into half-time, Rodrigo
said the fightback was a team effort which everyone deserved.
“It was an incredible feeling,” the forward stated, after
getting the three points. “It was an amazing game that everyone enjoyed at the
end. I think the first half was a bit difficult, with the goals, especially the
second one because it was a lack of attention on the set-piece. We had three
injuries in the first half, Raphinha got Covid before, so we’ve had to overcome
a lot of difficulties.
“Everyone deserved this win a lot. The team, the staff, and
of course the fans as well.”
The victory makes it back to back wins for Rodrigo and his
Leeds United side, who now have a two-week international break before taking on
Southampton at Elland Road.
He said: “We are very happy, the two last games have been
very important for us. This group of players deserve it a lot, it’s true that
it hasn’t been an easy season for us, it’s had many difficult moments. But,
this is part of football and this group will give everything for this club, I
think that’s the most important part. We are very happy with the win and now we
have time to rest a little bit during the international break, then come back
with the maximum power until the end of the season.”
