Leeds fans can’t believe what Junior Firpo has done on international duty

However, it was Firpo’s stance that immediately caught the attention of supporters.

Leeds’ first-choice left-back has been deployed as a striker for his country, leading the line in a 4-3-3 formation, showcasing his versatility and attacking ability.

Despite his usual role at Elland Road, he is the Dominican Republic’s most talented and standout player, and they rely on him for much of their attacking play.

As a result, he tends to play further up the pitch for his country, which allows him to contribute more in the final third.

Firpo’s attacking ability has always been highlighted at Leeds despite his defensive role, but fans were surprised when they realised where he played for his country.
