After the disappointing loss to Southampton in the play-off final last Sunday, Mateo Joseph joined his Leeds United teammates in addressing supporters. The 1-0 defeat means another season in the Championship for the club, but Joseph remains optimistic about the future.
Captain Liam Cooper, Connor Roberts, and Jaidon Anthony have also shared messages, with Roberts and Anthony saying goodbye as they return to their parent clubs. Despite limited chances, Joseph made his mark this season with notable impacts off the bench, including a late equalizer against Watford and a brace against Chelsea in the FA Cup.
As Leeds faces major changes with the departure of key players and ongoing injury concerns, Joseph’s versatility and promising displays position him as a key player for the future. With manager Farke’s guidance, Joseph could anchor a revitalized Leeds team alongside young talents like Pascal Struijk and Ethan Ampadu. Although disappointed in falling short of promotion, Joseph expressed gratitude to the fans for their support and vowed to come back stronger in the upcoming season.
