Victor Orta right man for Leeds United after video emerges on social media
The dramatic scenes at Molineux as Leeds United came from 2-0 down to beat Wolves 3-2 last night were echoed by the main man Victor Orta.
Luke Ayling sent the travelling Whites mental in the away end when he rifled home the winner in stoppage time after Jack Harrison and Rodrigo had drawn them level just after the hour.
Jesse Marsch has managed to create this never-say-die attitude in this Leeds United team and it appears to be filtering through to the boardroom too.
Victor Orta, director of football at Elland Road, was in attendance at Molineux last night and he too couldn’t contain his excitement when the winner was thundered in.
He was videoed on Twitter celebrating like any other supporter would when their team have just scored a late winner.
It shows just how passionate Orta really is about Leeds United and you don’t see that kind of overwhelming emotion from many if any club board people.
He might not have been the fans’ favourite person when he helped decide the future of Marcelo Bielsa last month but no one can deny that he eventually made the right call.
Seeing him screaming with delight at Ayling’s goal last night just highlights how there is no better person to be heading up the football club right now and his appointment of Marsch is working wonders already.
The American now has back-to-back wins in the Premier League, both via late goals, and he has this team working like clockwork for the first time all season.
Relegation seems to be out of the equation thankfully for the Whites and it is largely thanks to the work of Marsch and the unrivalled passion of Orta who brought him to LS11.
