McDermott looking to be best passing side
Leeds United boss Brian McDermott says he wants his side to be one of the best passing sides in the championship next season.
McDermott, who arrived at Elland Road with five games remaining last season as already showed his desire for a passing side in his short spell at the club, encouraging the players to pass the ball.
It was evident for all Leeds fans to see in the final five games of last season, as players were encouraged to play the ball out from the back and not the 'hoof ball` we had grown accustomed to under Neil Warnock.
The Leeds boss is away with the side on a ten-day training camp in Slovenia at the moment, and he is looking to see his side put his passing plans into action during the clubs three games during the trip.
Speaking on the official website , McDermott said, 'We want to be one of the best passing teams in this division, but pass with a purpose and an end product, and get into areas where we can hurt teams, and that's what we'll be looking for in the three games here.'
Leeds open their tour with a game against a Slovenian XI on Wednesday night.
The Whites then face FC Domzale on Saturday before finishing their three game tour with a game against Hungarian side Ferencvaros next Tuesday.
