Kalvin Phillips admits his stories of former Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa were met with disbelief while on international duty. As one of Leeds’ most successful and high profile academy products in recent years, Phillips features in Amazon Prime’s new documentary ‘Academy Dreams: Leeds United’, which was released this morning on the streaming platform.
The series, split into six episodes, tells the story of the last season’s Under-23 side as the Whites’ young stars looked to work their way into the first-team picture at Elland Road. Phillips, who has since joined Manchester City, was still at the club when filming was taking place and he is interviewed during the second episode of the series.
The midfielder can be seen playing pool with Charlie Cresswell at Thorp Arch and the pair discuss what it’s like to train and work under Bielsa, who was Leeds’ boss at the time.
