Champions League football is the long-term carrot everyone at Leeds United is chasing, but it’s already the stark on-field reality for new faces arriving at Elland Road. Rasmus Kristensen is one such arrival who has felt the penny drop on the chasm between Austria and England’s top flights.
While there was some encouragement for the Denmark international on Sunday, the right-back was given a rough ride in the opening two matches of the season. Kristensen has felt the leap in level on the pitch and raised it with Jesse Marsch.
The head coach was not shocked to find Kristensen felt this way. Marsch and Victor Orta have been telling prospective new signings all summer how they can come to Elland Road and play Champions League-level football every week.
