Ben was absolutely brilliant for us that season and was a massive reason we got promoted. He’ll always be remembered as a key man in such a memorable season and now he’s showing his class at Arsenal.
Ben White was a Rolls Royce defender when he was at Leeds, and Marcelo took his game to the next level. Viva Marcelo Bielsa. MOT.
Marcelo is just legendary. He will motivate you to work hard and become the best player you could possibly be
Bielsa put Ben White with the 23s to keep him humble. He did the same thing to himself by living in a flat above a shop and driving a Volkswagen Polo.
It was probably to give him time to learn the Bielsa system and style of play tbh. He made all new signings play a couple of U23 games first, even Raphinha. Bielsa's style of play is very unique. Plus, the player has to cut weight and get up to his insane fitness levels.
But then I don't know if Ben White is talking about pre-season or not. Also, Bielsa would have wanted to take a look at him and assess him, as he wasn't exactly an established player at the time. He'd only played League 1. Bielsa sold Pontus Janssen for disciplinary reasons, and White was a cheap replacement (on loan).
Bielsa is a absolute legend
Now that you mention it. There are no first team players playing with the U23s anymore. None. When Bielsa coached, several first players were on the U23s in almost every game. It was mostly to keep them match fit or get them back from injury, but still. Farke has never done it. You can have 3-4 players above 23 on the team I think.
@@heldinahtmlhell he knew exactly how good Ben White was. He wasn't a cheap replacement.
@@clivet3252 He was. And Bielsa preferred experienced players. He didn't often throw young players into being starters. He'd only played 14 games in League 1, the previous season. That was all the experience he had.
Absolutely love the guy, will never forget his performances for us❤️
Marcelo Bielsa. If you have had him coach a team you support, no other manager will ever be good enough
100% agree
I was lucky enough to meet bielsa posed for photos and had time for everyone. Great man
huge fan of ben white. not a leeds supporter but I've gone back and watched every match of that title winning year to see how he's progresssed and man, that was some special football bielsa had them playing. i'll always be thankful to the club for helping make him into one of my favourite players
Bielsa loved Ben White he was desperate to buy him for the Prem that’s why he bud 26 million for him. As a Leeds fan Ben was brilliant for us one of the best centre backs we’ve ever had and player of the year along with Pablo Hernandez
Will always have a soft spot for Ben he was amazing for us & he and Kelvin had a special relationship. What could have been if we were able to get him back. Great to see him playing for another top team in Arsenal. All the best Ben 🙌 MOT ALAW
Loved Ben White when he played for us. I was sure he would be a regular cb for England within a year. Sad to see him ending up at RB. Think he has such potensial for a CB spot. Reminded me so much about Woodgate.
Remember where you were without him
As keane says baby MOT
He'll be back there soon once Arteta dumps him for Calafiori/Timber like he did for Ramsdale/Raya. Shame as I actually think he is not bad (dodgy fake tan aside) but that's how it's gonna go.
The second I saw him I was like 'Bro, this guy is an alien'.. Calmest player I've ever seen at Leeds.
The manager who made the players work hard gets sacked and then relegation follows. Funny that.
El loco made you ben you know it😁🤍💛💙🦚hope your well Ben and the legendry goalie ben👌
Love Bielsa
This man seems incapable of stringing a sentence together! Three words at best! He meant you were dimwitted!
Exactly 💯
Nothing wrong in that, it happens
He was great with us, and it would have been good if he stayed. But now he is wearing an Arsenal shirt and playing first team football thanks to Bielsa and Leeds United.
El Loco a legend quality. ALAW.
bielsa made ben white a prem pl;ayer from league one rotation player
Doesn’t sound very grateful, Bielsa done absolute wonders for his career
The break actually hindered us as we were unbeaten until then.
Would have him back in a heart beat
Marceloooooooooo Bielsaaaaaaaaaaaa
4hrs day? Aw poor lad
That new publication “The Leeds Evening Post”
Ben was a legend at Leeds
Fabulous player
Wasted at right back
Leeds should have paid anything for him
England regular 🤔
Some people can take it and are all the better for it, others cannot and whine to the press after (talking about retired Suarez and mediocre Canobio).
We won 6 in a row Ben before covid hit Ben you numpty 😂
Then the 1st game back after Covid we lost away at Cardiff halting the massive momentum we had built up pre Covid
@@adam160908
And then won our last 5
Ben probably just forgot; who is going to remember playing for Leeds in the lower leagues.. not exactly exciting times.
@ exciting enough to mention it 😂
Kind of wonder if this played a role in him not signing for us. Always felt like a deal could have been made if White were truly keen and pushing for it...we ended up with Koch and Llorente instead who were average at best
He was on loan and Potter was never going to sell him a)cos Bielsa and Leeds grew him into a better player who would do well at BHA and b) cos they likely knew a big club would pay double what Leeds could offer. I really wanted him to stay too but it was smart business thinking by Brighton.
As keane says baby MOT
What's that
All the Leeds fans lauding up Bielsa but they wanted him out and did so.
It was mixed. But fans are very fickle (and very stupid).
The fans at the ground always supported Bielsa.
Work hard like pulling the green chain 10 hours a day six days a week setting chokers in the big bad redwoods may be pickin in the Imperial valley 120 degree heat ya ok what do you get when you work your fingers to the bone bony fingers
The club were to quick to sack bielsa that season . Jessie marsh was just not good enough bielsa made a team out of so called ordinary players such cooper ayling Stuarty dallas Bamford the list goes on . Still think kalvin would have never left if bielsa hadn't been sacked same with raphina. . But thats lift God willing we.ll be back in the prem for the 2025 2026 season
Class should of broke the bank to keep him and built the team around him instead we let class leave and keep rubbish like bamford
Ben Orange.
Ben White was an absolute player he was amazing for Leeds wish the owners would have put the money down for him
And i definitely agree Marcelo bielsa made Ben White into the player he is today 👊👊👊👍👍
It didn't really matter what we offered Brighton made it quite clear they weren't willing to sell to us. the only way we would have got him was if he had turned down the new contract Brighton offered him. Once he signed that he was never coming.
@@stephenhodgson3506 They wanted 40 million for Ben White it was just that the owners couldn't afford that price
@@philipanderson4680 They always said he was not for sale to a rival club no matter what we offered. We could have offered the same as Arsenal paid and they would still have said no.
@@stephenhodgson3506 That's a load of 💩💩💩💩 every player has got a price it's just that the Leeds owners at the time couldn't afford it
@@philipanderson4680 so you're saying the Brighton's owners are lying then?
First from Kuching Sarawak
Average player
Snowflakes. SMH.
Arrogant Player. Proved that when he turned down playing for England.
Why does that make him arrogant? Just wondering
@@Youknowchippychipsno one’s bigger than their country
@@jonathonjakobo he doesn't have to play for England if he doesn't want to
England are terrible
Class player like Woodgate
Star for Leeds every week
