Kalvin Phillips has revealed that he called his former Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa after breaking down in tears after a poor performance for Manchester City last season.
Phillips has struggled to make an impact since joining City in a £45million transfer last summer. He started just four games in all competitions during his debut campaign, with a shoulder injury hindering his development.
The England international got a rare opportunity in City's 3-1 win over Leicester in April, when Pep Guardiola brought him off the bench for Rodri in the 53rd minute. Phillips could not affect the game and left the Etihad Stadium feeling frustrated and became emotional once he was home.
