Captain Pascal Struijk of Leeds United is remaining level-headed despite their recent surge up the Championship table. Following a 2-0 victory over Sheffield United, which saw goals from Struijk and Mateo Joseph, Leeds climbed to second place and extended their unbeaten streak to five games.
In a post-match interview with Sky Sports, Struijk emphasized the importance of staying focused on the next game rather than getting wrapped up in the excitement of their current position. He acknowledged the challenge of facing a defensively solid team like Sheffield United but expressed confidence in Leeds’ ability to break them down.
Struijk’s goal in the 69th minute, a stunning left-footed volley from a corner, was particularly significant as it ended Leeds’ long dry spell of scoring from dead ball situations. The Dutch defender credited the team’s hard work in training for their success on set pieces and expressed optimism for their continued improvement.
Despite their recent success, Struijk maintained a humble attitude, recognizing that the season is far from over and that there is still a long way to go. Leeds United’s focus remains on taking each game as it comes and striving to achieve their goals one step at a time.
