The new profile of the post, which the Bulgarian national Iliya Gruev plays in the “Leeds” team, clearly reflects on his performance.
This is clear from a material in the publication leedsallover.com. It is titled: “Daniel Farke has interesting starting lead after 4 laps”.
That’s how long it has been since the start of the season in the Championship (the second level of football in England). After them, Gruev is #1 in “Leeds” for key passes in Farke’s team – those that lead to dangers in front of the opponent’s goal.
Ilia has 9, which ranks him 6th overall in the division. For the Yorkshiremen, he is followed by Junior Firpo with 6 and Ethan Ampadu with 3.
It is the latter that is related to the change in Gruev’s functions. From this season, the captain of “Leeds” returned to the pair of defensive midfielders, in which he partnered with the 24-year-old Bulgarian.
In the last campaign, Gruev was sold to the French “Ren” Glen Kamara, with Ilia being closer to the defense, and he acting a little forward. Now our international is in this role, and Ampadu is in front of the defense.
The statistics with the key passes are due precisely to Gruev’s slightly more offensive functions. Apart from them, he has 4 shots on goal so far.
