Piroe prepared for 'competition' after Villarreal draw
- Published
Joel Piroe speaks to BBC Radio Leeds after he scored in the 1-1 friendly draw with Villarreal: "That feels really nice. It would have been a bit better if we had won the game but in the same time I think it was a good game to get ready.
"You feel it is getting better, that everyone is getting sharper. You feel the team as a whole has stepped up a bit as well.
"You want to win every game but at the same time you know it is not realistic. As a group we had to learn if you won't win, don't lose. I think that will be something really important in the season as well for us."
Leeds have been linked with the likes of Everton's Beto and Fulham's Rodrigo Muiz and on the prospect of the club buying a forward he would compete against Piroe added: "I have said before, in the Premier League at big clubs you always face competition. So if it's a new signing or someone from the academy there will always be a battle for players. You just have to influence what you can influence yourself. For me it is keep playing well and scoring goals. For me that is how I want to keep my spot. Everyone wants to be part of the group and it means they are fighting for their spot."
Were you at the game? How do you feel about the season to come?
