Intensity from the first whistle and keeping those Marcelo Bielsa tendencies at bay are the key demands Leeds United need to meet, according to Jack Harrison. The Whites are away in Spain to continue with their three-week build-up to Manchester City’s Elland Road visit and it is much more than a bonding trip for the squad.
Hard yards are being run, intense exercises are being executed and Jesse Marsch’s proving relentless with his on-pitch barking. The Whites are well aware, despite taking six points from their last nine, their league position is far from satisfactory even with more than half the campaign still to play.
A number of the players have already spoken of the problems they need to address from the opening 14 matches. This break for the World Cup is the ideal opportunity to chisel away at those imperfections.
