Leeds played second pre-season game last night.
Leeds United played their second pre-season game last night with an experimental team.
There was not a regular centre-back among Marcelo Bielsa’s team for the fixture with York City.
Midfielders Ronaldo Vieira, Mateusz Klich and full-back Laurens De Bock played in a makeshift back three at the innovative boss’ behest.
Klich helped Leeds score their goal in the 1-1 draw, with his effort rebounding off the crossbar for teenager Sam Dalby to tap in, after new signing Lewis Baker had floated in a corner.
Vieira and Klich both sent messages on social media after the game.
Vieira captained the young side, a memorable occasion on his birthday too.
It was Klich’s first game for the club since early January, after being sent out on loan to Utrecht by former boss Thomas Christiansen.
While too early to get carried away with a friendly against a non-league side, Klich looked good, and he could yet become a key player for the Whites.
