Jayden Bogle: Getting back in our home was important

Full-back gave his thoughts on RB Leipzig clash.

Jayden Bogle vs RB Leipzig

After putting in his usual marauding display down the right-hand-side and being part of a defensive unit that kept a clean sheet over 120 minutes against RB Leipzig, Jayden Bogle gave his post-match thoughts to LUTV.

The 26-year-old has been a regular in pre-season and enjoyed his time on the pitch during the tour of the US, but he admitted it was a great feeling to return to West Yorkshire for this one and to get another win.

“Yeah, it was good,” Jayden explained. “It was enjoyable and nice to be back as well. Overall, it was a good game in both sixties. Even though it is still pre-season, getting back in our home was important. We had a good few games away as well but, yeah, everyone was buzzing to be back.

“It was nice [playing and training in the USA], a bit different to what we have done previously. But again, I think as it got towards the end, everyone was excited to get back home and get back for this game as well.”

The Whites have had to face teams showing different styles of play during the summer so far and Bogle sees that as a positive, after coming up against an aggressive Bundesliga outfit at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon.

“That is what we have been working on as well. We know that in the Premier League, you are going to get teams that are going to counter-press really quick.

“You have to be good on the ball but stay as calm as possible to try and take the press out of it. So yeah, I think we showed that really well at times today.”

Bogle’s last question to answer in his post-match interview was about the upcoming clash with Manchester United in midweek, where he was asked whether it can really be called a friendly.

“No, you can’t,” he laughed. “Even though it is pre-season, it is not going to be a friendly. We will recover now and then prepare for that one next.”
