Interview Dan James: How was the “ruthless” uncle saw him becoming a key man Leeds United | Football news
When Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter left, it was expected that Willy Gnont would become their key player this season.
But the winged player who holds him from the team, Dan James, who appeared as the most important gear in Leeds United press to promote.
With 10 goals and nine assists in only 30 appearances, 25 of which started, the 27-year-old flourished at Elland Road in this campaign.
The pace of howl is now accompanied by an incisive end product. Confidence and belief in his own abilities are now breaking through him, and he was probably the most impressive player of the championship attacker.
‘I want to be ruthless on the field’
“What I wanted to do since last season is to get back again and contribute to what I could for a team,” says James Sky Sports After winning the Sky Bet Championship Player of the month for February.
“As a wing player, I just want to be as direct as possible. I try not to refuse one on the screen.
“I want to be ruthless in the field. And that’s the key. I don’t want to refuse anything. There are games where I will give a lot of the ball, but that’s because I’m trying to create something.
“You can lose the ball 10 times in a row, but then you just have to go to your player again. And once I do it once, it can lead to the goal.
“It’s hard to get in that way of thinking, but once you are in it and you feel confident. You may not get a chance in the game in the game, but in that last 30 if the ball goes down on your part, you just have to be ready.
“I still have to work a lot between now and the end of the season to give as much as possible for that. But I feel confident at the moment. When I’m on the ball, I want to create as much as possible and for me everything is to get the next goal or help.
“It’s a relentless mentality of that. I don’t want to just one, I want to make as much contributions as possible without being too greedy.
“There are cases where I have to be a little more ruthless with what I want to do, and I want to continue to do it.
There are cases of this season in which I passed when I could shoot, but I always look at such things and try to improve myself. “
‘I try and be a little more main man’
“For me, personally, I try to take everything in the field as much as possible to run the line.
“I am not a loud person in the locker room and I am not one that could go and motivate everyone else. I tend to leave it to other people and concentrate on my game and what I need to do.
“But now I’m a more older player, I try and be a little more than a main man. I’m a very team player, but this season I’m trying to be more direct, ruthless and a little more selfish.
“But selfish in a way that is for that, not for himself.”
‘Leads the example of the whole team’
“What is extraordinary is how much he improved his confusion of the end product,” says Daniel Farka Sky Sports After winning the Sky Bet Championship Manager of the month for February ..
“There were so many goals and assists, and also many games when it takes responsibility for the leading of the group.
“Not only with speeches, but also by example with his work burden. When the sprint back and wins the fight to stop the counter -attack, he shows a great guidance for the whole team.
“He played a great season. But merit can not only come in February and March. You have to make sure everyone is singing your praise coming to May.
“We still have to work for that. And also Daniel, who is extraordinary, has to work.”
‘He is a very good player who hit the vein of form and consistency’
Sky Sports Efl Expert David Pruthton:
“I am so impressed in terms of the consistency he has shown. It was the next step for the day, to add goals and assistants to that amazing worker and pace he has. And he did.
“He always had a genera. He broke out on stage as a younger player and played for big, big football clubs. I think we sometimes forget where he was, but the couple also played with the international stage for Wales.
“He is a very good player who has hit the vein of form and consistency, which only elevates his status and standard, and does the same for players around him.
“What will always be a stumbling block to maximize the most of your potential was what you did with the ball when you entered the last third.
“Players mature at different times, some players never get it, while some work on that raw talent and raw materials they have and never develop the other side.
“But the day has absolutely done it. It is a merit for him as a player that he wants to be better and more rounded. He has always been able to do it, but now he does it on a more consistent basis. Because of that, more people now notice a player who has been.”
