Danny Gabbidon thrilled by Leeds United star Dan James for Wales v Estonia
Danny Gabbidon was left thrilled by Leeds United star Daniel James as he shined once again for Wales against Estonia on Monday evening.
The Elland Road speedster played a big role for the Welsh, who came away with an important 1-0 victory in Tallinn.
Playing centrally, James was able to use his pace and use it to haunt the Estonian defence after smart pieces of play in the final third.
Speaking on live Sky Sports coverage last night, Gabbidon was blown away by the quick interchanges in the final third.
“Lovely link-up play again down this right-hand side with Daniel James getting in behind,” he said.
“It’s a really-inviting ball low across the box, Moore trying to Cryuff flick it into the near post but not quite getting the purchase on it.”
Lightning.
It must be so frightening for opposition teams to see someone such as James running at them on the ball with so much space to work with.
Flair and skill aren’t what the winger is about, he is all speed and being direct, and that is sometimes the worst nightmare for a defender.
As well as that, it helps tremendously with his pressing and defensive work, something that Marcelo Bielsa will value more than any other coach on the planet.
Having faced a nightmare rotation system at Old Trafford, the regular playing time is clearly doing James the world of good, and we can’t wait to see more already.
It’s all about working on that final product now, and if that comes, we are really onto a winner at Elland Road.
