WHAT HE SAID? "It’s [English football] a faster pace, it’s more physical, it’s a bit less technical than Italy, but those are the same things I’ve noticed that are different, and the weather, the weather is god awful,” McKennie said on the Indirect Podcast.
“I’m a Texas boy who has been living in Italy for a while with good weather, but here I’m begging to see sunlight for just 10 minutes per day.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE: McKennie hasn't quite had the impact he would have hoped for in Yorkshire, with Leeds winning just one of the six league games he's been involved in since his loan move.
