Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch was pleased with what he saw from his four debutants in Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Whites were forced to come from behind to secure the opening day win and did so thanks to Rodrigo Moreno and an own goal from Rayan Ait Nouri.
Marsch named four of his summer signings in the starting line-up at Elland Road, with Tyler Adams, Rasmus Kristensen, Brenden Aaronson and Marc Roca all making their debuts. The quartet all made some telling contributions throughout the game and Aaronson in particular has been receiving high praise for his display.
Speaking after the game, Marsch revealed what they had told the new signings about the intensity of the Premier League but was impressed with how they adapted.

“We've talked as a team to with our new players about what the league level is like. Even in practice matches, it's hard to mimic exactly what the intensity is.
“There's three players that have played for me before but also Marc Roca, when he was at Bayern Munich he learned a lot of the kind of behaviours about what we'd like to do against the ball and so I think his adaptation has gone really smoothly.
“Brenden, I thought had a good performance. You know, I hear it's being credited as an own goal, but I thought he was active and lively and dangerous all match.
“Yeah, good [Kristensen]. I thought he won some duels, a little bit unlucky on the goal that when he goes into body that the loose ball winds up costing him a little bit, but I thought he defended well, I thought he ran hard.
“I thought he made good decisions with the ball and this is what I know of Rasmus is he'll give everything pour his heart into every match.”
