‘Remarkable’ – Leeds United man continues rise post Elland Road, big change already

We’re sure at this point Leeds United fans are sick of hearing about how well their players are doing out on loan this season but, when it comes to Marc Roca, there’s no ignoring the fact.

That’s at least according to AS, who cover the player today and how he continues ‘on an upward trend’ with his recent performance in the 1-1 draw with Getafe.

The newspaper explains that with his goal in that game, the midfielder scored his second of the season and that, added to the one assist he’s managed this season too, means he’s now on three goal participations in 12 games this season.

That’s a ‘remarkable’ number for the player when compared to his numbers at Leeds last season, when it took him 36 games to hit the same tally.

He’s matched that tally in a third of the time at Betis and is even on course to better his best ever season.

He managed two goals and three assists in 44 games for Espanyol back in 2019/20, numbers that were part of the package that convinced Bayern Munich to sign him.

Roca eventually moved to Leeds and then Betis this summer, where his projection is to improve those numbers and set a new personal record to continue his quick improvement after a miserable year at Elland Road.
