RODRIGO EXPECTS HARD YEAR

RODRIGO says Leeds know their second season back in the Premier League will be even harder than their first.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men were ninth on their top-flight return and forward Rodrigo, right, accepts their rivals will be more aware of them.

“I think everyone knows the second season will be harder than the last,” said Leeds’ record £26million signing. “The other teams know us better and it will be really hard.

“Last season we did an amazing season.

“We are working really hard to arrive in the best condition.We still have the hunger to achieve better. Marcelo tries to impose the correct mentality for the next season.The group is really focused.”
