Leeds United have started pre-season training.
Leeds United returned to pre-season training last week, and among the players who have started working is Ronaldo Vieira.
The 18-year-old midfielder was part of the England Under-20 side that won 2017 Toulon Tournament earlier this summer.
The first few days of pre-season training is always tricky and sometimes hard for players. After all, it is back to work after holidays.
Fitness is a key issue during pre-season training, and the players have to work hard in order to get into the physical shape required to be competitive.
Vieira has jokingly claimed that during last Monday’s body fat test there were a few players who were scared.
“There were a few scared people.” Vieira laughingly told The Yorkshire Evening Post. “There were a few that didn’t even eat breakfast just to see if they could bring it down! Obviously you put a little bit of fat on but it will go in a week or so.”
Leeds have a good squad, and the Elland Road faithful will expect the team to challenge for a playoff spot in the Championship next season.
The West Yorkshire outfit narrowly failed to end up in the top six during the 2016-17 campaign, and the players will be determined to do their best not to repeat the failings of last season.
