Kalvin Phillips greatly benefited from working with Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds United
It is safe to say Marcelo Bielsa left a lasting impression on Kalvin Phillips . Few would argue that Phillips developed into one of the best holding midfielders in the country under the Argentine.
And Patrick Bamford and Phillips have given insight into working with Bielsa during his time at Elland Road. “I think he was the harshest on Kalv,” former teammate Bamford told his My Mate’s A Footballer podcast. “I think because he knew what he could get Kalv to be. If you looked at all the players, he had his moments where it would change week to week, but generally Kalv was always the one that he'd push and push.
“We had a pre-season where, I’m not even joking, for three weeks I’d go home and literally just have a protein shake for my dinner and then come in the next day and keep having to lose weight. He was still like that until the last week he was there, he’d always push me to be on a certain weight target.
