Marcelo Bielsa lays down challenge to Rodrigo

Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa wants everyone at Leeds United to help unlock the 'richness' of club record signing Rodrigo after his goal against Tottenham.

“Rodrigo is a vital player for us,” he said. “The obligation of all of us who are part of this group is to manage to get him to be able to do everything he’s capable of doing.

“After the time he spent without playing, he played half an hour against Brighton, 45 minutes with the Under-23s and he came on in the game today. After each appearance he’s played better than he had in the previous game.

“It’s important we manage to see the richness he has, football wise. He’s a player who has solutions to the problems of the game without anyone indicating them to him.”
