Leeds United central defender Diego Llorente has told Marca that he enjoyed watching the Amazon Documentary.

The Spain international central defender, who joined Leeds from Real Sociedad last summer, has said that he found the Elland Road faithful very passionate after watching the ‘Take Us Home’ documentary.

The documentary followed Leeds during the 2018-19 season and during the 2019-20 campaign.

The Whites missed out on promotion to the Premier League in 2019, but last season, they completed the job.

Llorente told Marca: “I was quite impressed by the passion with which they live football. I would see the fans arrive at Elland Road and think, ‘I hope I can live that atmosphere as soon as possible’.”

Important player for Leeds United

Llorente has had injury and fitness concerns this season and could not have a real impact in the first half of the campaign.

However, the 27-year-old centre-back has started to come into his own in recent games and is playing well for the West Yorkshire club at the moment.

According to WhoScored, the former Sociedad star has made nine starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Leeds this season, scoring one goal in the process.

Leeds fans could see the best of Llorente next season, and perhaps the Spain international could help the team challenge for the European places in the Premier League table.
