Last month, he said the chat with Mallorca manager J<a href=\"https:\/\/sportwitness.co.uk\/going-to-take-lot-of-turns-leeds-player-reveals-manager-chat-trigger-for-transfer-decision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">agoba Arrasate convinced<\/a> him to join his side.<\/p>\n<p>The Leeds owned player was part of the Spain U21 squad for this international break and has been speaking to their media.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, he explained reasons why he left Leeds and <a href=\"https:\/\/sportwitness.co.uk\/player-on-manager-and-sporting-director-convincing-him-to-leave-leeds-says-english-city-not-prettiest-place\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said the English city<\/a> wasn\u2019t the \u201cprettiest place\u201d.

Rodr\u00edguez was an unused substitute and took to social networking site to publicly criticise Arrasate.<\/p>\n<p>Mallorca were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rcdmallorca.es\/noticias\/nota-informativa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">unhappy<\/a> with his comments, suspending and fining him, and Joseph has now publicly supported the club in the saga between them and Rodr\u00edguez.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not a pleasant situation at all. Why am I going to lie to you? It\u2019s true that the manager and the club have made a decision, and in the end, Jagoba Arrasate is the one who bears full responsibility for the group, and that decision must be respected,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are all one team, and we are all moving in that direction. We are aware that these situations can happen, even if they are unpleasant, but the club and the manager have already made a decision, and we must stick to it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds United\u2019s Mateo Joseph effectively went on strike to force a move away from Elland Road and his&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":415247,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,4884,1860,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-415246","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-leeds","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115184546833001949","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=415246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415246\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/415247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=415246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=415246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=415246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
