Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United are second behind Norwich City in the Championship table.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side are second in the Championship table at the moment with 58 points from 31 matches, just two points behind leaders Norwich City.
Leeds always have had a siege mentality, and following the Spygate incident, it has only intensified.
Phillips has said that he and his teammates know that people outside the club do not like them, and the 23-year-old central midfielder has also said that that motivates them to do better.
“You want to prove a lot of people wrong,” Phillips told The Yorkshire Post. “There is a lot of stuff and obviously people do not like us, but it kind of motivates us to basically make a point to people and say we are the best team in the league.”
Promotion challenge
Leeds’s recent form and results have not been great, but the West Yorkshire outfit remain a very good team with some very good players.
It is only a matter of time before the Whites put together a run of positive results, and the Elland Road faithful should be optimistic about winning automatic promotion to the Premier League at the end of the season.
Leeds will return to action on Wednesday evening when they take on Swansea City at Elland Road in the Championship.
