Leeds United fullback Junior Firpo has enjoyed his first season in England.

Firpo left Barcelona for Leeds last summer.

He told Marca: "The Premier is the best league or the most competitive in the world. All the teams, from the last to the first have an incredible level of players, physical level, football is played at a different speed here. Practically just like I saw it on television.

"In some results we have not had luck, we are not where we should or we think we deserve to be. All the wingers and full-backs that I face are very strong, very fast. Apart from the quality they have, football is a bit more disorganised. More lack of control. Total attacking football. I remember my time at Betis, with Quique, he used to tell us a lot about recovering with the ball. Let's keep possession a little to recover and then attack. Not here, that isn't here. Here its attack, attack, attack."
