Jesse Marsch Gives Fascinating Interview On His Coaching Philosophy, He's A Breath Of Fresh Air - Sport Bible 19/3/22

Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch gave a passionate, fascinating and detailed interview on his coaching philosophy after the club's dramatic win against Wolves on Friday night – and fans are massively impressed.

Despite defeats against Leicester and Aston Villa in his opening two games, the 48-year-old American has enjoyed some early success after he was appointed as head coach following the controversial departure of Marcelo Bielsa.

On Sunday, the Whites managed to pick up a crucial win against Norwich and then last night's incredible comeback to win 3-2 helped boost their bid for Premier League survival. Here is that astonishing last gasp winner from full-back Luke Ayling.

After the full-time whistle, Sky Sports managed to grab Marsch for a few minutes to discuss the events at Molineux, where goals from Jack Harrison, Rodrigo and Ayling cancelled out first-half strikes from Jonny and Francisco Trincao to seal all three points.

He spoke about his coaching philsophy, avoiding relegation and the decision to not play Kalvin Phillips.

This is really impressive stuff.

Marsh said: “I don’t care what happens with the other teams. We have to focus on ourselves. And the more that we can control what we can control, then the more we can put good performances together and that’s the way to collect points.

“That’s what I said to the team a week ago. I said ‘I don’t want us to survive, I want us to thrive in the moment.'

“So, we’re starting to see that. It comes from accessing the courage of these young men and the quality they have as young men.”

After that impressive interview with Sky, the former RB Leipzig coach also fired shots back at the media with a comment on his accent

"None of them have made fun out of my accent like some of you (media)," he said in his post-match press conference. "They had a coach who worked really well with them. They could have had a lot of issue but they have committed themselves."

In fact, Marsch quickly played down potential issues surrounding his accent in his first interview with the club's media.

“I have a lot to prove to our fanbase that I’m the right guy to follow such a hero like Marcelo Bielsa,” he said.

“But I think the key is that when they see the team play and if the team plays with passion, and they play with heart, and they give everything they have, and that they show that they’re also intelligent, clear with the playing model, and they’re aggressive.

"...then I think normally the fans will tolerate the coach even if they don’t like his accent or if he’s not as popular as the previous coach.

“Over time, I found that I’ve always had an incredibly passionate and well-connected relationship with the fanbases everywhere I’ve gone.”

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
