Jesse Marsch reveals Leeds United’s defensive tactics lufc
Marsch specifying that Leeds look to use Pascal Struijk – who has deputised on the left-hand side of defence this season – as a third central defender in build-up phases suggests the American has asked right-back Rasmus Kristensen to occupy a more advanced position ahead of the ball.
“One of the things I said to him was ‘listen, the reason you came here was to get out of your comfort zone and to challenge yourself and to believe you can adapt and grow and get better from the situation,’” Marsch told reporters. “He said to me ‘I feel like I was making 10 to 20 impactful moments per match at Salzburg, Champions League, in the league and here, it's hard for me to make one or two or three’. I said ‘yeah, the level's big’ and he agrees.”
