Javi Gracia's says improving Leeds United's defensive concentration was crucial when he arrived at Elland Road following an up turn in results. Despite important wins in the Premier League, the Whites have kept just one clean sheet since the Spaniard's arrival - a 1-0 win over Southampton in his first game in charge.
However, despite still conceding goals, the Whites have looked more solid in games and look less susceptible to counter-attacks. Junio Firpo in particular, is enjoying his longest consecutive run of games, since 2019 during his time in Spain.
"I didn't know that, but I think he's one player that is doing many things well and in the last game we spoke about how important his defensive work was with the team, speaking about the defensive line, how concentrated they were in the moment we were attacking," Gracia said.
