00:01Leeds United season turned in a pivotal moment at Manchester City back in November
00:06and captain Ethan Ampadu has shed light on what made that half-time so defining.
00:12Training 2-0 at the Etihad, Leeds appeared overpowered with pressure mounting on Daniel Farker
00:17and the squad's resilience but a tactical switch to a back three coupled with a stern and motivational
00:22dressing room talk sparked a transformation that has carried Leeds through the remainder of the
00:29season. Ampadu explained that the message was simple but powerful, focus on the basics, give maximum
00:36effort and believe in themselves. It felt like we had to remind ourselves what it takes to play in a
00:42Leeds United shirt and what you've got to give having that belief in ourselves he said. That belief
00:48translated into results, Leeds clawed back in that game and followed with impressive performances
00:54against top sides losing just twice since that defeat. Their Premier League campaign has been
01:00marked by composure, character and a collective will to fight, hallmarks of a team forging momentum
01:06and stability to stay in the top flight. With the lessons at the Etihad, Leeds enter each fixture
01:14with a strengthened mindset. The half-time team talk wasn't just a pep talk, it became the blueprint for
01:21how Leeds approached the challenges, proving that mental resilience can be as decisive as tactics
01:26on the pitch.
