Jesse Marsch answers Leeds United job pressure question with Whites 'people' view - YEP 29/10/22
Whites boss Jesse Marsch faced a different question about his job as Leeds United head coach after Saturday’s superb win at Liverpool – but batted it away by insisting that his “people” mattered more.

Marsch’s side approached Saturday night’s clash at Anfield
having failed to win in their last eight games, six of which had ended in
defeat. A return of just two points from a last possible 24 had left Leeds in
the Premier League’s relegation zone and Marsch facing increasingly frequent
questions from the media about his role as Whites head coach. Leeds, though,
produced a fine display in Saturday night’s clash at Anfield and ended their
awful run in style by recording a 2-1 victory thanks to Crysencio Summerville’s
89th-minute winner. Rodrigo had earlier put Leeds in front in the fourth minute
only for Mo Salah to equalise ten minutes later.
Asked how much pressure the performance and result had
lifted personally, Marsch reasoned: “I don't know. I am just happy for our team
because I believe in them, I have told them that often, I've challenged them to
continue to get better, I've challenged them to stay strong and unified.
They've done that. And so, in a moment like this, I think if you a real leader
than your focus is on your people and for me it was an important time for our
people."
