Leeds United: ‘Brilliant’ Dan James verdict shared on BBC
Dan James, the star player for Leeds United, has amazed Nathan Blake with his performance during Wales’ victory over Finland on Thursday, March 21.
Speaking on BBC Radio Wales on Thursday (via BBC Sport), the analyst praised the 26-year-old for his “brilliant composure” as he added the fourth goal for Wales in their European Championship playoff match after coming off the bench.
In his nation’s 4-1 victory in Cardiff, he continued, the winger earned his goal for applying pressure to a Finnish defender before winning the ball and producing a cool finish.
Blake declared, “Let the party begin.” Dan James showed amazing poise; given the pressure he applied to the defender, he deserved it. As stylish as you desire.
Leeds United winger Dan James on fire
James got on the scoresheet not long after coming off the bench, demonstrating once more how comfortable he is in front of goal right now.
The winger put in a lot of effort as he shut down the Finland defender, won the ball back, circled the goalie, and slotted the ball home.
With 12 goals and seven assists for Daniel Farke’s team this season, he has truly demonstrated a cutting edge to his game.
This has resulted in strong performances for the national team as well, and he will be hoping that his cameo will give him the opportunity to start for Wales in their upcoming game.
When the Whites play Poland on March 26, they will be hoping that he and his teammates who are playing for the Welsh squad can secure another victory. That will give them even more confidence when they return to Elland Road.

Rob Page’s team defeated Glen Kamara’s Finland 4-1 to claim the bragging rights in Leeds United’s player competition on the international scene on Thursday night.
Wales’ challenge in their pursuit for a spot at Euro 2024 this summer is to host Kamara and Finland in a match that has been in the works for some time. However, it was always going to happen on Thursday.
After three minutes, David Brooks scored the first goal for his nation, giving Wales the perfect start. Neco Williams scored the second goal and Harry Wilson set up the first as Wales went on to win easily.
After Teemu Pukki had pulled one back, Brooks set up Brennan Johnson for his third Wales goal at number three. Dan James, one of Leeds’ four players, is unfortunate not to have received a starting position.
