Leeds United have made a great start to their Championship campaign.
Leeds ace Adam Forshaw sat down for an exclusive interview with the Yorkshire Evening Post, and raved about the quality of Marcelo Bielsa, suggesting that the Argentine has completely transformed the physical condition of the players at Elland Road.
The Whites have made an excellent start to their Championship campaign, winning four and drawing two of their opening six league outings, and they currently sit comfortably at the top of the table.
Bielsa’s arrival at Leeds coincided with a new sense of optimism that began to reverberate around the club, and many are tipping the west Yorkshire outfit to go on and earn promotion back to the Premier League.
Forshaw, who joined the Whites from Middlesbrough in January of this year, told the Yorkshire Evening Post how the 63-year-old has transformed the Leeds players into much more physically conditioned specimens:
“He’s been fantastic. He’s the boss and that’s how it is. He’s got such an aura in terms of the way you respect him for the calibre of coach he is and what he’s done but at the same time, he’s a nice guy as well. All the players bought into the whole idea from Marcelo and I can tell you this about everybody – they look like different players with the condition they’ve got themselves in.”
Next up for Leeds is a trip to Millwall on Saturday, and Bielsa’s men will undoubtedly be in for another physical challenge against the Lions.
