Leeds United midfielder Marc Roca has opened up on the crucial role ‘older brother’ Rodrigo played in helping him settle in at Elland Road. Roca is just 12 league games into his Whites career having made the move from Bayern Munich to West Yorkshire over the summer, but his transition to the Premier League has been seamless.
The Spaniard has struck up a promising partnership with Tyler Adams in the middle of the field with the pair playing all but one game together under Jesse Marsch. However, Roca has also built up a strong off the field relationship with Rodrigo, who currently has six Premier League goals to his name this season.
Rodrigo is a member of Marsch’s leadership council, alongside the likes of Liam Cooper, Patrick Bamford and Stuart Dallas, and his guidance and friendship has been key for Roca. As such, Roca is rooting for Rodrigo to be selected to represent Spain in Qatar later this month.
