In a new interview, Robin Koch criticizes the way Leeds United set up to defend during his three seasons at Elland Road.
Koch joined Eintracht Frankfurt on a season-long loan this summer and is unlikely to return to Leeds upon the expiry of his contract at the end of the 2023/24 season. United are in receipt of a reported £500,000 loan fee from Eintracht for the German international, although that remains somewhat below the 27-year-old’s market value.
Speaking to Eintrachtvom Main, the Bundesliga club’s official podcast, Koch has described his difficulties whilst at Leeds as well as the adaptation period he has undergone since returning to domestic football in his homeland whilst reiterating a desire to represent the national team once again.
“Just getting out of Germany and getting along in another country, that did a lot for me as a person and also privately.”
“It’s well known that the quality of the Premier League is very high. Compared to the Bundesliga, I’d say it’s just faster towards the goal.”
This season, Eintracht have conceded the fewest goals of any team in Germany’s top flight, less than Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and breakaway league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. The team also sit second in their UEFA Europa Conference League group.
