1
00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:10,240
Everywhere
We're gonna be there
2
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,760
We love you
Leeds, Leeds, Leeds
3
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,440
Marching on together
4
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,680
We're gonna see you win...
5
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:32,040
We carry the weight of expectation
on our shoulders.
6
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,760
Come on, Leeds! Come on!
7
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,800
The weight of the whole city
on your shoulders.
8
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,640
We're fighting Leeds!
9
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,320
We weren't the club
that the city deserved or wanted.
10
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,040
We didn't quite get there.
11
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:54,960
And that is the moment
that sees Leeds United confirmed
12
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,360
to another season in the Championship.
13
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,920
To lose out like that, and to have been
in the position we were in.
14
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,960
It's, you know... That feeling.
15
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:10,080
The fans maybe think
that we just forget everything
16
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,600
and it's all forgotten about.
But it's not.
17
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,320
It's... It was terrible, to be honest.
18
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,320
You know, to come so close
and then to be winning the game
19
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,720
and then lose it in the way we did,
I was just gutted.
20
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,400
Defeat is very hard to take.
21
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,000
It lasts for a while.
22
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,840
It's still there
and you start to ask yourself
23
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:33,160
what you should have done differently.
24
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,400
You can't dwell on it.
25
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,600
You have to use that
as your motivation now
26
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,920
and just go that one step further.
27
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,520
Everybody came together for a common goal
28
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,280
and whilst it ultimately ended
in disappointment,
29
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:14,320
I'd do it all again if we had to.
30
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:17,840
The biggest concern was...
31
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,120
"This has been amazing,
can we do it again?"
32
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,640
We've given the fans
some fabulous memories
33
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,480
and I think we've given them
their pride back.
34
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:32,080
We've given the city
35
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,200
the hope that they can have the club
that they all deserve.
36
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,800
In one short season, they've just gone
from no expectation whatsoever to,
37
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:55,760
"Boom! Leeds are on their way to be back
in the Premier League where they belong,"
38
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,120
Destroying teams, playing absolutely
fantastic football, to...
39
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,000
"You didn’t quite make it, lads.
You didn't quite make it."
40
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:05,720
But you've gotta go again.
41
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,040
Leeds United are embarking
42
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,560
on their 16th consecutive season
outside of the top flight.
43
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,560
After falling agonizingly short
of promotion last year,
44
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,520
the club must start again with the aim
of achieving a top-two spot
45
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,000
and a place
in next year’s Premier League.
46
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,680
Head coach, Marcelo Bielsa, has agreed
to stay on for one more year
47
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,880
to try and go one step better
than his first season in English football.
48
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,120
For the club, work needs to be done.
49
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,560
Finances must be managed,
50
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:22,040
and Bielsa must be given a squad
capable of matching his ambitions.
51
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,640
We had always planned
for two eventualities.
52
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,800
A fully-blown plan for being
in the Premier League
53
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,160
and also plan for it not happening.
But the most depressing element of it
54
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:36,600
was that we had been sent,
by the Football League,
55
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,080
40,000 tickets for Wembley
56
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,760
and we had to hand them over
to the managing director of Derby County,
57
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:43,960
who took them away in his car.
58
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,040
That was just devastation.
59
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,360
It was tough, but the next day,
Victor and I were in the office
60
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,760
saying "What are we going to do?
How are we going to fix this?"
61
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,280
And I think that's how we dealt
with the grief
62
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,800
was focusing to fix it this season.
63
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,520
Alright?
64
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,280
-How we feelin'?
-Tired.
65
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,480
-I only got back last night.
-Were you still on holiday yesterday?
66
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,000
Of course coming back...
67
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,320
You know coming back to Thorp Arch
and seeing the players,
68
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,760
It does-- it did hit you a bit,
that, you know,
69
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,400
it did go horribly wrong
at the end of the season.
70
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,800
But I think that gave us extra motivation
to come back
71
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,640
and try and hit the ground running
72
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,400
and use last year
as a blessing in disguise really.
73
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,200
How am I still growing?
74
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,560
To be honest,
it didn't really settle in for me
75
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,040
for another couple of weeks.
76
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,800
Then knowing
that the manager was staying
77
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,800
and coming back for pre-season,
it was just forgotten about.
78
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,760
A couple of weeks to go,
you're working your socks off again
79
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,320
ready to come back in
and it’s just-- you move on.
80
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,400
The more you dwell on it, I think,
obviously, you'll have a hangover.
81
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,640
I think it was more excitement
to get back in.
82
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,280
The boys all have come back really fit
83
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,440
because we didn't obviously
have the longest break.
84
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,000
Just focused on that wrong,
coming back and making it a right.
85
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,560
Marcelo Bielsa’s style of play
86
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,600
requires supreme levels of fitness
from the players.
87
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,800
And after their summer holidays,
88
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,160
the squad arrive back
for pre-season training.
89
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:49,000
And their fitness,
weight and body fat
90
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,640
are all measured
in minute detail.
91
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,400
What did I finish on?
92
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,880
Fuck's sake,
get that camera out of here lads.
93
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,600
Come on.
94
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,440
Go and stick it on a young prodigy
or something.
95
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,520
Certainly took an extra push
96
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,560
to make sure you're on your weights,
make sure you’re on your body fats,
97
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,120
make sure you're doing everything right.
98
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,800
The first year was a bit of...
99
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,400
Maybe a bit of fear from him
and wanting to impress him.
100
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,800
But second year,
it has got to come within yourself.
101
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,400
The boys know that if we're gonna
live up to them standards
102
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:26,920
and even go higher than those standards,
103
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,440
I think we need to keep pushing yourself,
keep pushing yourself.
104
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,160
Well, I was 66 before I left.
105
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,400
A bit nervous to go in there
at the minute.
106
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,880
Hey, get 'em on here, lads.
What are you thinkin'? Check the tan out!
107
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,280
Get on these ones again, as well,
they were never that...
108
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,160
Gettin' thinner...
109
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,800
No, no, no, no, no, no, no...
110
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,400
7.2, 7.2!
111
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,800
Why are you so dramatic?
It’s the start of the season.
112
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:02,600
That's not too bad.
113
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,680
6.8. Just wanna aim for the tricep.
114
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,840
You might be alright here, you know.
115
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,000
Oh, my God.
116
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,840
The players are not only returning
to training
117
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,200
they are returning
to a revamped training ground,
118
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:39,080
designed to the exact specification
of Marcelo and his staff.
119
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,000
Gracias, thank you.
120
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,440
It now resembles a health and leisure club
rather than a training ground.
121
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,640
But he was adamant that he wanted
the right environment for the players.
122
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,880
It’s an elite environment now.
It’s a Premier League club.
123
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,320
When we start to work again this year
124
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,840
it’s easy for us because we know
what we need to do.
125
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,080
It was that same feeling
that like, as soon as he comes out,
126
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,600
then the boys knew:
"It's murderball time, let's go."
127
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,000
We know it's hard.
128
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,720
The training is long days
129
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,840
but we know that if we do
what Marcelo wants
130
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:36,720
we have a great chance.
131
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,600
This is our mentality from the first day.
132
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,040
Preparations for the new season
are underway on the pitch.
133
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:50,320
Off the pitch, work needs to be done.
134
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,840
Leeds’ failure to secure promotion
last season
135
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,040
means that the club must now balance
the books and sell players.
136
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,240
Failure to satisfy league rules
around financial fair play
137
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,440
would mean a heavy points deduction.
138
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,760
The dialogue on the internet
is about Andrea
139
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,320
not being able to invest behind the team,
140
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,160
and even to the extent
that he’s stealing money
141
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,800
from the club to line his own pockets.
142
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,480
The reality is,
Andrea can’t put any more money in.
143
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,400
The profit and sustainability rules mean,
144
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,560
however much he had to put in the club,
we can't spend.
145
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:23,800
The other reality is that
146
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,560
Andrea is putting his hand
in his pocket month after month.
147
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,960
Every month for last season
I have to write him an email
148
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,760
and I have to request pretty much
one and a half million pounds
149
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,160
to keep the club running
and every month he says yes.
150
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,680
And that's the measure of his commitment.
151
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,160
We are going to talk to Marcelo
152
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,040
and be very clear that we have limitations
in our market transfer.
153
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,480
The finance of the last three years
of the club are showing big losses.
154
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,920
We could be possibly penalised
155
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,040
with a deduction of points
by the league.
156
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,880
So in order to not be penalised,
to not have this risk...
157
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,280
we have to sell some players.
158
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,200
How would you describe
your exit from Leeds?
159
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,720
When it happened,
it was a lot of emotions, of course,
160
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,520
because I wasn't prepared for it.
161
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,960
The first player to leave Elland Road
is cult figure Pontus Jansson.
162
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,520
So, us boys were back in training
163
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:23,160
when Pontus was still
on international duty,
164
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,120
so us boys never actually got to see him
after the Derby game.
165
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,800
Pontus came the same summer as I did
and he's all I'd known,
166
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,320
playing next to me and, yeah,
167
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,400
then one day he's there
and the next he's gone, so...
168
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:40,800
It’s not good news, no. For--
I think, for the team, for the players,
169
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,320
more so for players like me,
for some players like Berardi and Alioski
170
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,520
because we spend more time
outside the training ground.
171
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,760
But this is football.
We can do nothing.
172
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,400
Following Jansson out of the club
is young star, Jack Clarke
173
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,640
who is signing for Premier League side
Tottenham Hotspur.
174
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,680
Marcelo’s philosophy is that
no man is bigger than the team.
175
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,760
And the team ethos has to come first
176
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,120
and we have to trust Marcelo
on those decisions,
177
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,920
that he's got the vision
of the whole of the team at heart.
178
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,400
Leeds cannot expect to sell
their star players
179
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:41,640
and still challenge for promotion.
180
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,040
They must also bring in players
who can improve the team.
181
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,520
Director of Football, Victor Orta
and Marcelo Bielsa,
182
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:53,360
have identified potential
in a young player,
183
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,840
one who has never previously played
Championship football.
184
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,280
-Hiya, you alright?
-Morning.
185
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,880
-Hello, how are you?
-Good thank you.
186
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:05,240
I’m alright.
187
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,000
I would be sitting here and lying to you
188
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,160
if I said to you I knew who Ben White was
because at the time,
189
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,120
nobody really in the Championship
had really heard of him.
190
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,400
Just pretend you're signing
that bit of paper for us.
191
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,200
Marcelo really, really rated him highly.
192
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,040
He’s not a household name, he's not
a name which will excite the fans.
193
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,240
Marcelo wants ball players at the back.
194
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,000
He doesn’t want big centre-halves
who are gonna thump it out every time.
195
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,920
He wants people who can play it out.
196
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,520
Ben can absolutely do that.
197
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,160
One of the successes of this season
198
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,760
is going to be players like him
stepping up and delivering.
199
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,920
Leeds are putting their faith
in a crop of young, hungry players
200
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,000
and, in keeping with that strategy,
201
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,200
sign French goalkeeper, Illan Meslier
202
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,000
and bring back Jack Harrison on loan
from Manchester City.
203
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,520
A player who impressed Bielsa
while at the club last season.
204
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:02,600
-Hiya, Jack.
-Hiya, you alright?
205
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,320
Yes, I'm alright. Thank you.
How are you doing?
206
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,640
If you look at the transfer window
this summer across the Championship,
207
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,040
there's not been big money spent.
208
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,080
It was only two years ago
209
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,280
that Wolves were spending 40 million
in a transfer window.
210
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,160
I think our signing of Helder
will probably be the biggest signing.
211
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,840
Getting a special player,
who is a Premier League player,
212
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,000
to come to Championship
is always a challenge.
213
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,480
But Helder has been very committed
to the Leeds cause.
214
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,880
He's committed himself to Leeds
for the long term.
215
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,120
The Leeds board are attempting
to balance the books
216
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,720
by selling players of significant value
217
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,160
and freshening up the squad
with young talent,
218
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,960
primarily on loan
from Premier League clubs.
219
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,160
But all of Leeds’ financial problems
could be solved in their entirety
220
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,840
with the sale of just one player:
221
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,640
Kalvin Phillips.
222
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,960
Kalvin is a player we rate really highly.
223
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,880
Last year he seemed to sum up the spirit
of the side.
224
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,600
I mean, a lot of people talk about
the money in football
225
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,880
and, y'know, it's life-changing.
And it is life-changing.
226
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,920
There was a lot of speculation about me
227
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,960
possibly playing for England.
228
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,000
There was quite a lot of talk
that I wouldn't be able
229
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,160
to play for England
if I was still in the Championship, so...
230
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,440
That was one of the things
that made me think
231
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:52,960
that I need to be in the Premier League.
232
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,160
It's challenging when the players
are offered the chance
233
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,240
to move to the Premier League
they have great financial incentive.
234
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,600
But they have
a fantastic footballing incentive as well
235
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,520
so our job is to try
and persuade the player
236
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,440
that their best chance of playing
in the Premier League
237
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,000
is going to be with Leeds United.
238
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,880
As the transfer activity rolls on,
239
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,920
Leeds head to Australia
for a pre-season tour.
240
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:29,320
Expectation, you're going to Australia
pre-season, fantastic, brilliant,
241
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,760
you're going to get to see Australia.
The reality... we saw the hotel
242
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:35,840
and the stadiums.
243
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,640
So, yeah, it’s been...
It's been intense
244
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,680
but we knew it was going to be
a hard, hard schedule.
245
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,600
Another game
before we start the season
246
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,520
so another chance
to get that competitive edge, fitness,
247
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,760
work on that winning mentality
and do the hard work.
248
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,400
Manchester, wank, wank, wank!
249
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,640
Leeds’ first game of their Australian tour
250
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,720
is against another English side
who have made the trip down under:
251
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,760
arch-rivals, Manchester United.
252
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,720
It's another very
important step for our club
253
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,680
that we are here, we are in this country,
254
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,000
playing a big enemy like Man United,
255
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,920
so we can't wait to be on the pitch
and do our best.
256
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,840
Even though the fixture
is officially a friendly game,
257
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,920
the atmosphere is intense
258
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,960
and 55,000 fans have packed
the Optus Stadium for the match.
259
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,680
We all love Leeds
We all love Leeds
260
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:52,680
We all love Leeds
We all love Leeds
261
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,400
A loss is never good to take,
but what an atmosphere.
262
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,400
I still think our fans were loud,
they were passionate,
263
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,400
there was so much support given
to the team, for the boys.
264
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,400
The result could have been better
265
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,480
but sometimes I think you can look
at the bigger picture.
266
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,200
We outmanned Man U
267
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,160
-like you would not believe.
-There were no scum fans anywhere.
268
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,800
You could understand
the actual atmosphere,
269
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:35,920
it was brilliant.
270
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,200
Manchester, wank, wank, wank
271
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,320
In the second game of the tour,
272
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,200
Leeds face local side,
Western Sydney Wanderers
273
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,840
looking to rebuild some momentum
following the defeat to Manchester United.
274
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,240
Harrison is in the area,
cuts back and it’s a goal!
275
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,440
Mateusz Bogusz, the 17-year-old.
276
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,760
They come up within the final stages.
It's Hernandez.
277
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,760
Goes on a run into the box,
doing it all himself, Hernandez!
278
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,640
The Spanish Magician.
279
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,240
Tell you what, never realised
like how many Leeds fans is...
280
00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:33,520
not travelled,
but are based in Australia.
281
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,000
I couldn't believe the following
that there is here.
282
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,440
I'm proud to own this club
because we are really a big club.
283
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,000
Even here, 6,000 miles away
from Yorkshire,
284
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:53,080
so I'm very honoured, I'm very glad
to represent Leeds United.
285
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,640
We should all be proud and we are working
to be back where we belong.
286
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,800
It's just amazing, innit?
It just...
287
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,160
You look,
the other night at the Optus Stadium,
288
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,560
it was just Leeds, Leeds everywhere.
289
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,240
It was like a dream come true.
290
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,720
To have Leeds turn up in Australia,
291
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:20,360
and to be here, it's like all my dreams
have come true.
292
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,520
With the tour complete,
Leeds United head back to England
293
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,000
to continue their preparations
294
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:34,200
for the new Championship campaign.
295
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,600
And to decide on the futures
of a number of key players.
296
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,240
One of those players is Pablo Hernandez.
297
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,600
Last season’s player of the year
is approaching 35 years of age
298
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,960
and some in the media are speculating
whether at this stage of his career,
299
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,600
Hernandez can still perform
to his previous high standards
300
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,320
throughout the gruelling
46-game Championship season.
301
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:08,280
It's hard to describe when somebody's
so good at their craft.
302
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,320
You can't help but be impressed
with Pablo.
303
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,880
As a person, he's a really
lovely family man, quite quiet.
304
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,440
You see what an amazing footballer he is
and he just blows you away,
305
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,080
and people might suggest he's old,
306
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,800
but there's something magical
about Pablo Hernandez.
307
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,360
It's difficult, you know,
when you arrive to this age, 35.
308
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,480
I know my age but if I feel good,
309
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,400
I feel that I can compete
with the other boys.
310
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,760
When I started to talk with the club
for a new contract,
311
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,880
I always say to the club,
the first option for me is Leeds United.
312
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,920
Hernandez is offered,
and signs, a new 2-year deal at the club.
313
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,880
And he is joined by Stuart Dallas
and captain, Liam Cooper,
314
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,920
who also commit to Leeds
for the foreseeable future
315
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,720
by signing new contracts.
316
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,280
I’ve always wanted to be here.
317
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,880
It's home from home, really, for me.
318
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,040
This is my fifth year,
going into my sixth year,
319
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,320
it's nice to be rewarded
with a new contract.
320
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:22,280
This year we want to give it another go
321
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,720
and, hopefully, we can achieve that
this season.
322
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,480
Some of the core of last year’s team
are staying at Leeds,
323
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,800
but one of the heroes
of the previous campaign
324
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,240
is on his way out.
325
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,320
Kemar Roofe is sold
to Belgian side, Anderlecht.
326
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,680
I'm excited to be here
327
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,480
and I think the project
is the most exciting thing.
328
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,720
To see where they want to be
and where they want to get to
329
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,680
and the style they want to play
to get there
330
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,120
is really encouraging for me.
331
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,600
That was a big attraction.
332
00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:10,640
You've not got all these dodgy toenails
on cameras, have you?
333
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:12,920
Keep your socks on!
334
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,080
He's wanting to challenge himself
and get play time,
335
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,600
so he's coming from a big club
336
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,200
but it's about him being tested
at another big club...
337
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,960
that are vying for promotion
338
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,840
and, y'know,
proving that he is a good player.
339
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:44,960
Come on!
340
00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:47,680
Oi, that was sick!
341
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:52,920
Come on!
342
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,080
There is now one final
transfer window decision
343
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,120
that must be made
before the start of the new season.
344
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,600
-How you doing, you alright?
-Alright, love, yeah. Yeah.
345
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,720
-It's a bit nervous.
-It is nerve-wracking.
346
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,040
-But we're happy, aren't we?
-Yeah, course we are.
347
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:17,920
The offers we received for him,
348
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,680
any other team in the Championship
I think would have accepted.
349
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,760
It doesn't make any financial sense at all
350
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,560
to have a player of that value
playing in the Championship.
351
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,800
The clubs chasing him
were offering him all kinds of money.
352
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,320
Money that wasn't affordable for a club
in the Championship
353
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:34,520
to pay that sort of thing.
354
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,920
I’ve had offers that would have
changed my life there and then.
355
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,880
Y'know, actually
I was second-guessing myself,
356
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,080
I was thinking, should I leave,
should I not?
357
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,600
I was like that...
when somebody said he might move.
358
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,400
I said to him, what am I going to do?
359
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,320
He says, "You'll have to sell that house
and come with me."
360
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,840
I've too much to leave behind.
361
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,800
If I left Leeds,
I've got 23 grandchildren,
362
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,480
23 great-grandchildren
363
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,880
and I've got a great-great grandchild
on't way,
364
00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:15,080
so it wouldn't do for me to move, love.
365
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,080
-Move out your way, cheers.
-No, it's no problem.
366
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,760
-Where is he? Are we waiting for Kalvin?
-Well, yeah!
367
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,720
I bought a side table the other day
368
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,120
and he was right eager to come over
and put it up.
369
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,000
So he says, "I’ll come
and do that tomorrow"
370
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,280
and he's been to Alton Towers.
371
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,760
Get on't phone. I’m going home
if he doesn’t come soon.
372
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,360
-Hello?
-Get yourself up here, come on!
373
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:49,800
Fourth floor, tell him.
374
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,160
Fourth floor.
375
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,040
-Fourth floor?
-Yeah.
376
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,600
What are you-- Are you eating?
377
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,160
We've got some flowers from Victor.
378
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:03,960
Get flags out!
379
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,520
What's happening?
380
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,280
"What's happening?" We're waiting for you.
381
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,240
We’ve done a full documentary
while you’ve been away.
382
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,520
What have you got on your feet?
383
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:22,480
Bloody hell.
384
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:28,800
Have you read it?
385
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:37,360
Kalvin Phillips has signed
a new 5-year deal with his hometown club
386
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,120
and is staying at Leeds United.
387
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,120
You know, it's just
finally cleared everything
388
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,520
so nobody's saying this
and saying that.
389
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,280
So, yeah, just concentrate
on playing football now.
390
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,760
She said to me
that she didn't want me to leave.
391
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,480
We've got too much family, as well,
over here
392
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,440
so we've got a lot of family members,
so...
393
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,840
I think that's what it is. Family.
394
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,000
Come on you can look happier.
395
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,680
I’m going to ask you to witness it,
if you will, will you sign it?
396
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,640
-Who, me?
-Yeah, I want you to do it.
397
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,360
He's a great person.
398
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,600
He's a person who everyone loves
to have around the club.
399
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:20,920
He's always got a smile on his face.
400
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,000
He's playing for his boyhood club,
401
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:25,640
he's a proper fan, he loves the city.
402
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,280
And I think,
not just from a footballing perspective
403
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,360
but, emotionally, he was the one player
we couldn’t let leave.
404
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,800
You know, he's the heartbeat of the team,
he's a local lad
405
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,400
and I think, for me,
Kalvin staying was just
406
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,880
as important as Marcelo
giving us a second year.
407
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,880
Leeds are now set to begin
their Championship season
408
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,400
with a refreshed squad
409
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,960
and a set of supporters trying
to keep their emotions in check
410
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,600
following last season’s
heart-breaking conclusion.
411
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,480
The way it ended was...
412
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,360
We... we stumbled.
413
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,360
I mean, we should have been promoted
last year.
414
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,600
It was...
It took a while to kind of sink in.
415
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,280
It was just so weird
because it all happened so quickly
416
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,280
and you couldn’t understand really
how it had happened.
417
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,320
It was just deeply, deeply confusing.
418
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,120
When you have the taste of it,
419
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,280
and you get the taste of being there,
and you can do it
420
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,080
and you throw it away
last minute like that...
421
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,880
It’s just a very Leeds-y thing to do...
422
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,720
Another record broken.
423
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,640
This time, I’m gonna try hold off
as much emotion as possible...
424
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,880
because we’ve all seen...
Anything can happen.
425
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,520
We've either gotta go automatic promotion
or just get knocked out of the play-offs.
426
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,320
I don't think my heart
could take that again.
427
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,280
If we don't go up this year,
we'll never go up.
428
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,720
Leeds will begin
the new Championship season
429
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,440
with an away game at Bristol City.
430
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,160
You can hear the Leeds fans chanting
Marcelo Bielsa.
431
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,240
Marcelo Bielsa
432
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,680
The game is underway
and the season has started.
433
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,520
Still with the ball at his feet, Harrison,
434
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,320
Douglas backs him up, hesitates,
doesn't cross,
435
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,320
goes back central to Forshaw,
ten yards outside the area,
436
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:36,960
now Hernandez on the edge of the area!
437
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,840
-Yes!
-Oh, what a goal!
438
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,480
-Pablo Hernandez!
-Come on!
439
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,320
Hernandez, really good work
from Hernandez...
440
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,840
-Yes!
-...Patrick Bamford!
441
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,280
Striding forward for Leeds United,
442
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,240
he's into the penalty area
and it comes back to Klich...
443
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,440
and it's down to Harrison!
444
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,480
Sometimes you talk about
the impact of a coach
445
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,920
but here, you can actually really see
the impact
446
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,400
because these were the same players
and the difference is just incredible.
447
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,720
There's hardly any pundits
in the pub anymore
448
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,560
because anybody can turn round
and go, "What,
449
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,920
you really think you know anything
more than Marcelo Bielsa?
450
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,000
Shut up."
451
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,360
Fucking too right.
We'll finish top this time.
452
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,320
No third place, no play-offs, top.
453
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,760
Numero uno. That's us.
454
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,680
Plays a great ball through,
Hernandez is clear!
455
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,600
Pablo Hernandez
456
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,360
makes it one-nil Leeds United.
457
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,000
Leeds in front.
458
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,560
Feeling hopeful
for this season, definitely.
459
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,440
With the signings we've brought in,
I think we're looking strong.
460
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,000
I don't want to jinx it!
461
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,600
Leeds are gonna win the league!
462
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,520
Back in it goes, great chance!
Oh, he’s hit-- Must be a goal!
463
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,240
Bamford scores for Leeds United.
464
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,120
We are Leeds, we are Leeds, we are Leeds!
465
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,280
Just like last season,
Leeds are off to a strong start
466
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,080
and are setting the pace
at the top of the Championship.
467
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,120
In the next fixture at Elland Road,
468
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,520
they welcome back a promotion rival,
and an old friend.
469
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,640
Well, it's a bit strange
because I really...
470
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:28,080
Obviously, because I'm from Scandinavia
and I really liked him as a player.
471
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,640
He was really playing with his heart
and I will miss him
472
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,720
and I'm going to cheer for him.
473
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,160
I think he deserves that.
474
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,360
In a tight game, Leeds need inspiration.
475
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,600
...to be replaced by number 14,
Eddie Nketiah!
476
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,640
And two of their new arrivals provide it.
477
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,760
Klich, sets off on a bit of a forward run,
478
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:02,120
Costa's going
and he’s put the afterburners on,
479
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:03,400
he’s into the penalty area...
480
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,840
Helder Costa... Nketiah!
481
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,080
What a way to say hello to your new club.
482
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,800
Scores at Elland Road
and gives Leeds the lead.
483
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,720
He's settled in quite quickly to be fair.
484
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,600
All the lads are very keen on him
and I think the fans are too.
485
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,160
Can't wait to see
what else he can bring this year.
486
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,800
It’s always good to see Pontus,
a familiar face.
487
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,200
He had a massive impact at this club
488
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:33,800
and to see him again was great.
489
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,360
Obviously, it must have been
an odd day for him.
490
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,320
He had a great time here, didn't he?
And the fans took to him well.
491
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,160
-All the best!
-Good luck!
492
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,360
The relentless Championship season
rolls on
493
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,760
and Leeds travel to Stoke
494
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,400
in a fixture they lost last season.
495
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,800
Luke Ayling is injured
but one of the most versatile
496
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,720
and important members of the squad,
Stuart Dallas,
497
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,840
is filling in for Ayling at right-back.
498
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,320
The boys were flying,
the boys were winning.
499
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,200
Obviously, I wanted to them keep winning
500
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,840
and I'm trying to find my way
back into the team
501
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,400
but I actually went to York Races that day
502
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,120
and I had the results popping up
and I see Stuey's scored.
503
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,680
Obviously I was happy
but, I was like, bloody hell.
504
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,600
it must have been from a corner
or something
505
00:34:23,720 --> 00:34:25,800
and then I get the highlights later
and I’m looking at it
506
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,400
and I think...
he's run from right-back
507
00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:30,120
and he's the highest man upfield.
508
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:31,440
I'm thinking, "I can't do that."
509
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,920
I was like,
"I haven't really got a chance."
510
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,720
Stuart Dallas scores for Leeds United.
511
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,760
What a move that is, fantastic ball.
512
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,120
Bamford, inside the area,
Bamford on the right foot.
513
00:34:46,240 --> 00:34:49,840
Oh, what a ball!
And what a finish by Alioski.
514
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,560
We've had loads of crap chucked at us
over the years
515
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,280
and we've come through it all.
We've stepped it up a level now.
516
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,160
This is our year. Definitely.
517
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,440
Leeds remain in the hunt for promotion
518
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,560
as the season moves
into the autumn months.
519
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,760
And the visit of Birmingham City
to Elland Road
520
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,320
will mark the 100-year centenary
of the club.
521
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,000
A special week of civic
and sporting events
522
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,160
will take place across the city.
523
00:35:27,720 --> 00:35:30,680
I’m sure that the city founders,
looking back,
524
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,240
could not have anticipated
525
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:38,320
just how important
that club has come to be
526
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,480
in the hearts, the minds,
527
00:35:40,720 --> 00:35:44,200
the fabric of our great city.
528
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,720
Members of Leeds United’s
greatest-ever team,
529
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,960
including Eddie Gray and Norman Hunter,
530
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,480
have joined the current squad
and management for this special occasion.
531
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,360
Generations of families have lived
532
00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:03,880
through the ups and the downs
533
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,640
and all of the drama and the great moments
that the club has given us.
534
00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:11,840
A football club
is about making people proud
535
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,320
to feel they are a part of it,
proud to belong.
536
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:15,840
That's what we want to do.
537
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,680
We want our supporters
to be proud of the club,
538
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,400
we want our players
to be proud of the club,
539
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,680
we want our legends to be proud of the
club
540
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:23,880
and we want the city
to be proud of the club.
541
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,600
Being a defender, a bit like Liam,
542
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,760
we don't really go across the halfway line
very often.
543
00:36:31,240 --> 00:36:33,880
Our job was to stay back there and defend.
544
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,760
I used to look around that dressing room
and I used to think to myself,
545
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,040
"Look at the players,"
546
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,440
I used to think, "We can't get beat today,
we're going to win this."
547
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,840
And I didn't mind as a defender,
548
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,440
I didn’t mind working
and taking the bangs and the bumps
549
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,720
because I knew that the people
that were in front of me,
550
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,760
they had the ability to go
and score goals and win games.
551
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,520
And that's exactly what we done.
552
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:00,000
Ladies and gentlemen, Norman Hunter.
553
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,480
When I get to Elland Road now,
554
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,440
I always make sure I'm out
at five to three
555
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,680
to listen to the fans
singing "Marching on Together."
556
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,040
Marching on together...
557
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,640
That’s where we're at now,
100 years later.
558
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,160
This is the closest fixture
to that Leeds United meeting
559
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,160
and Leeds United will walk out
560
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,720
to a tremendous ovation from fans
who have been following this club
561
00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:36,200
so well, down the decades.
562
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,960
Alioski's gone on the overlap,
Harrison tries to play Costa in now.
563
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,760
Costa's cut the ball back
to the edge of the six-yard box.
564
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,320
Harrison now, up towards
the edge of the penalty area.
565
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,520
Now Bamford has space in the penalty area,
low drive!
566
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,080
Over the top to Bamford,
Bamford's through here,
567
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,600
Patrick Bamford backheels it, Costa!
568
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,240
Driven goalwards, blocked.
569
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,200
And it comes out to Dallas, and Klich,
and Dallas
570
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,280
and it's saved by Camp, oh, my word!
571
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,280
The two teams head for the tunnel
with the scoreline goalless.
572
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,840
Leeds dominate possession,
create the chances,
573
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:25,320
a host of corner kicks and free kicks,
but nothing yet to show for it, Ben.
574
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:29,720
I think looking at the lads
who have come out,
575
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,480
it's Bamford for Nketiah.
576
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,800
Now Nketiah, edge of the penalty area,
tries the shot, takes a deflection.
577
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,720
Alioski strikes the ball hard and wide.
578
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,880
Leeds have a chance.
Harrison's in space,
579
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,760
Nketiah waits in the middle,
Kalvin Phillips!
580
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:59,200
Kalvin Phillips scores for Leeds United.
581
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,720
The Leeds lad on the centenary day,
582
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,120
what a story!
583
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,720
Who else would you want to get the goal?
584
00:39:09,240 --> 00:39:10,400
And that's it.
585
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,520
The full-time whistle goes
586
00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:16,520
and Leeds United mark 100 years.
587
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:22,960
Super, super Leeds
Super, super Leeds
588
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,720
Leeds continue their tremendous form
through November
589
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,280
and just like last season,
are dominating most sides they face.
590
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,920
Ball back into the area,
Nketiah with the header, it’s there!
591
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:08,320
Eddie Nketiah!
592
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,560
Still with the ball at his feet
into Tyler Roberts, chance to shoot.
593
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,160
Low drive! Tyler Roberts!
594
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,320
With the ball at his feet,
plays the ball into the penalty spot,
595
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,320
still going, Harrison!
596
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,360
This year, however, the team take
an even bigger lead
597
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,360
over their promotion rivals
598
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,520
and build a significant gap
between themselves
599
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,000
and the third-placed team
in the Championship.
600
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:32,840
The best team in the league.
601
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,920
I genuinely believe this is going to be
our year, in our 100th year.
602
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,560
Not just to get back to the Premiership
603
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,960
but to get back to the upper echelons
of the Premiership,
604
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:41,400
which is where this football club,
605
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,720
as one of the world's great
sporting institutions, belongs.
606
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:46,840
Patrick Bamford who controls brilliantly,
607
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,280
Harrison with a chance...
Oh, it's hit the post.
608
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,920
It’s in from Jack Harrison.
609
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,840
What a break this is from Ben White.
Lovely ball, inside to Patrick Bamford
610
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,680
in the penalty area.
Low drive from Bamford.
611
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,080
Oh, what a goal that is
from Patrick Bamford!
612
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,000
We're going into next games thinking,
We're dangerous.
613
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,040
These boys are on a run.
Leeds are walking with that confidence.
614
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,160
It's into the path of Costa,
the ball in from Costa!
615
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,400
Goal from Jack Harrison!
616
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,160
Drops to the edge of the penalty area.
Klich lays it off for Costa
617
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,400
and then Harrison's in space
if he can find him nearside,
618
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,440
still going... Costa!
619
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,560
Doesn't need any help, Helder Costa.
620
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:25,160
We certainly aren’t the biggest squad
in size,
621
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,480
we probably haven’t got
the most talented players in the side,
622
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,560
but we work well, we're fit
623
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:32,760
and we've got a way of playing
that works for us.
624
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,120
Kalvin Phillips plays it short to
Hernandez,
625
00:41:35,240 --> 00:41:36,080
back to Phillips,
626
00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:38,480
now Klich looking for space on the edge of
the area, he curls it!
627
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,400
Oh, what a goal from Mateusz Klich!
628
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,240
Towards the penalty spot,
breaks out for Alioski!
629
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:47,720
Oh, what a strike!
630
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,960
Harrison down the left-hand side,
bodies in the box and it goes Hernandez!
631
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,920
Oh, what a goal that is
from Pablo Hernandez!
632
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:56,560
Pablo Hernandez
633
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,160
Klich carries the ball, right up
towards the edge of the penalty area!
634
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:00,200
Into the box.
635
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,120
Oh, it hits the inside of the post
from Bamford, Alioski!
636
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,200
Oh, my word!
637
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,200
Last year, dagger in the heart.
638
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,000
This year, we're back. We're back.
639
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:15,760
Us boys were definitely feeling it.
640
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,200
We built up a 12-point gap
and we were flying.
641
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:20,440
We felt untouchable.
642
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,840
We were doing so well,
everything was falling for us
643
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,320
we were keeping clean sheets.
644
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,040
Towards Helder Costa
and Helder Costa is in the penalty area.
645
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,480
Yes, what a start!
646
00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:31,680
In December,
647
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,680
Leeds look set to win
their eighth game in a row
648
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,360
at home to Cardiff City...
649
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,800
...as they raced a three-nil lead.
650
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,240
Patrick Bamford slides the ball in!
651
00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:47,880
Cool and calm as you like,
he gets his second...
652
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,720
But inexplicably,
they throw away the advantage
653
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,000
and the game ends in a 3-3 draw.
654
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,720
Tomlin with a flick up towards the edge
of the penalty area,
655
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,960
and there's a chance for the goal,
it’s an equalizer,
656
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,760
Cardiff have pulled it back.
657
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,080
We seemed to go on a bit of a bad run.
658
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,920
I think as fans,
maybe the vibe was... uncertainty.
659
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,160
You know, getting some shocking results.
660
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,280
Yeah, there was a moment of doubt
and fear.
661
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,600
Real doubt because I thought
we played so well
662
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,640
and were dominating
more or less every game.
663
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,000
Teams then were going on runs behind us
and catching us up.
664
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:26,680
It certainly affected us.
665
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,040
We'd seen in the season before
666
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,720
how you can go
from effectively looking invincible.
667
00:43:32,240 --> 00:43:34,000
And you could see
how quickly that can change.
668
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,280
I would say-- I would go so far as saying
it was a toxic atmosphere.
669
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,560
We had a 12-point gap,
it was coming down slowly, slowly
670
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,760
and then it was in within two points.
671
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,360
And then we went
into that Forest game and...
672
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,600
Forest come with Ameobi finding space
into the penalty area,
673
00:43:53,720 --> 00:43:55,240
low drive from Ameobi!
674
00:43:56,240 --> 00:43:59,640
And as simple as that,
Leeds United find themselves behind.
675
00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:01,840
I don't think we've scored
the first goal in a game
676
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,280
in a very long time now.
It changes the game if you get that.
677
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,160
So yeah, the first goal killed us.
678
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,680
I was as frustrated as...
679
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,080
the I-don't-know-how-many-thousands
we had in the stands
680
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:13,200
and the people at home.
681
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,520
I was frustrated like them,
so said what was on my mind.
682
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,240
I didn't try and sugarcoat anything.
683
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,200
We are not really making
any clear-cut chances for ourselves,
684
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,800
so, yeah, it was quite clear to see
685
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,000
that's a problem at the minute.
686
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,000
I was just frustrated at the time
with the game.
687
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:29,440
Frustrated with the result
688
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,960
frustrated with the lead
that we have lost.
689
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:33,520
Yeah, it came out in that interview.
690
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,120
The gaffer took us into a meeting
after the Forest game
691
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,520
and he showed us all the stats,
he showed us the game against Forest,
692
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:57,480
and showed us what we did well
693
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,120
and there were so many positives
that we were still doing.
694
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:04,040
It was just we were letting in goals
at crucial times
695
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,880
or silly goals on our behalf.
696
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,520
That meeting, it was a meeting
where everybody...
697
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,640
kind of sat back and just listened to him
698
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,440
and it was, like,
"Yeah, we're still a good team."
699
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,240
Leeds, Leeds are falling apart
700
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,200
The media outside wrote us off,
701
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,440
"Same old Leeds,"
you know, "Falling apart,"
702
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,000
and then I think we went out there
that Brentford game
703
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:51,600
and showed everybody what we were about.
704
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,320
It's Harrison who takes it, in it goes,
705
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:55,840
Raya has missed it,
chance for Liam Cooper,
706
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,000
-Yeah!
-Yes!
707
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:58,800
Leeds United equalize
708
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,240
and it's Liam Cooper's first goal
of the season!
709
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:03,960
And what a time to get it.
710
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,880
One very, very important moment.
711
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,200
I think we sent a message.
712
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,040
Last season,
we got into a little bit of a rut
713
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:14,120
at the end of the season
714
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,080
and I think we found it hard
to get out of it.
715
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,120
But this year we hit a run,
five games in a row,
716
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,040
five clean sheets,
built up a little gap again.
717
00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:24,160
Harrison picks up far side
of the penalty area,
718
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,360
tees it up for Dallas.
Dallas drives, blocked again.
719
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:30,520
It comes back out for Klich.
Klich drives forward, comes out to Ayling!
720
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,560
Oh, yes, Luke Ayling, he finishes it off!
721
00:46:34,720 --> 00:46:36,440
Shot after shot after shot.
722
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,640
Harrison on the left side, up towards
the edge of the penalty area now,
723
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,360
loads in the box to aim at,
the ball breaks to Ayling.
724
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,760
Oh, what a finish from Luke Ayling!
725
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,400
He's even got the ponytail out!
726
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,040
Luke Ayling had an amazing goal
and they were just flying.
727
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:54,240
It just started clicking.
728
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,480
Luke, what a great win, what a great goal?
729
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,720
I scored exactly the same goal
in training, yesterday.
730
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,720
Yeah, it just come across and I thought,
"Sod it, I'm going to smash it,"
731
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:04,000
Yeah, it was a nice goal,
732
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,040
but the most important thing
is three points.
733
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,040
We started coming back again,
got them wins.
734
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,200
And you look at the teams around us,
735
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,640
West Brom were starting to slip,
Fulham were starting to slip,
736
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:17,640
maybe it is about timing.
737
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,800
It's about timing and this is really
coming to fruition here.
738
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,840
Here it is, here's the proof, you know?
739
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,280
If we can carry this on
into the next few months,
740
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,200
then we can just relax a little bit.
741
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,040
We're getting promoted automatically,
no matter what.
742
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:47,280
Good evening.
743
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:52,000
The coronavirus is the biggest threat
this country has faced for decades
744
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,080
and this country is not alone.
745
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:55,800
All over the world,
746
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,000
we're seeing the devastating impact
of this invisible killer.
