Dani van den Heuvel on what Dallas does behind-the-scenes

Dani van den Heuvel is the starting goalkeeper for the U21 side at Leeds United and the academy goalkeeper was full of praise for what Dallas does behind-the-scenes at the club.

Speaking via , van den Heuvel said: “The love I received at Leeds also helped me, it really is a family. Stuart Dallas for example, he helped me a lot to stay positive. He is currently also suffering from a nasty injury.

“That allowed me to talk to him well. Such an experienced player has already experienced everything, so that is extremely valuable. We often had the same training times, so I never felt alone.”

It is great to see the 32 year-old use his experience to help the young up and coming talents at Leeds United.

The player himself suffered a really bad injury in April 2022 and is still sidelined due to the injury which is really sad to see.

Despite this, it is good to see that it hasn’t hurt him too much mentally and he is still looking like he is an experienced leader at the club.
