Marc Roca believes he and Tyler Adams complement each other very well in the Leeds United midfield. The two players were both signed in the summer and have started every Premier League game together so far this season.
Roca and Adams both arrived at Elland Road in similar times of their career after a year of limited game time at their previous clubs. The Spaniard found himself down in the pecking order at Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, while Adams too struggled for starts in the same league at Red Bull Leipzig.
But even with their lack of game time in recent years, neither have shown any signs of rustiness with both very much hitting the ground running. Midfield has been Leeds ’ weakest position since promotion to the Premier League but has arguably been their shining light in an otherwise difficult opening nine matches.

Perhaps the biggest compliment that the two can be played is that talisman Kalvin Phillips has not been missed on the pitch since his move to Manchester City. Speaking in an interview with BBC Radio Leeds, Roca described his partnership with Adams as ‘amazing’ and is pleased with how they have adapted together.
He said: “I think our relationship is amazing, we feel comfortable to play together. I think we are a good combo. He makes it easier for me to play and I think he also feels comfortable with me. We are doing our best because we want to help the team and each other, I think it is very good.”
