🗣️ Mauricio Pochettino on Brenden Aaronson missing training to get married. "The human being is always at the front of my mind.
"Players need to plan their lives, and the decision [to get married in late May] was made more than two years ago before I took charge.
"At the time, FIFA didn't allow a national team to play a warm-up game before 1 June and that was why they planned [the wedding].
"I wanted to allow Brenden to go. I know the type of professional player he is. It’s a good thing to let him celebrate...
"In the past, maybe people thought we [coaches] are all dictators. Maybe when I was a player, it was impossible. My old coaches would have said, 'I don’t care about you and your kids' [laughs].
"But today's society has evolved. Now we think about these things in more human terms than in the past.
"We were all happy. I am happy. He’s happy. His wife is happy."

The shovels are in the ground at the home of #LUFC, as the first signs of the transformation of Elland Road are appearing.
The initial construction stage of the project will expand the John Charles West Stand from the existing capacity of 8,000 to 17,552.
The new West Stand will be around a third larger than the East Stand.
It is hoped work on the West Stand will be completed by the end of 2028, raising the total capacity of Elland Road to around 47,000.
The Don Revie North Stand will be the next stand to be redeveloped, with work hoping to begin (shortly after the completion of the West Stand redevelopment) at the start of 2029, and to be completed before the end of 2030.
The North Stand's current capacity of 10,414 will be expanded to 15,300.
By 2030, if all goes to plan, Elland Road should have a capacity of 53,000 which would make it the 7th largest football ground in England.

Adidas Originals will release a retro collection for Leeds United. Recreated by kit insider @KamilBerberler using FIFA Kit Creator, this new lifestyle release promises a heavily nostalgic aesthetic.
The Adidas Leeds United 26-27 Originals shirt features a deep navy blue base, elevated by a tonal, all-over pattern made entirely of classic Adidas Trefoil logos. A strong vintage identity is established through the crisp white Trefoil and the club's universally beloved 'smiley' crest on the chest. The crest and colors are the same used for the Leeds 26-27 away kit, which is yellow, navy, and white.
The long-sleeve silhouette is finished with vibrant yellow shoulder piping, white Three Stripes down the arms, and thickly striped navy, white, and yellow cuffs.

Love to see it, fair play Lewie 👏🏻
Leeds fans genuinely the most vengeful fanbase in England 😂
You could say something about beating them when you’re 12 years old and when you get relegated at 32 years old they’ll have you by the throat
Cher Football
Tu m’oublieras certainement comme tu l’as fait avec d’autres plus grand que moi mais à leur image je ne t’oublierai jamais.
Je prends ma part de reconnaissance et de bonheur
Il est temps d’écrire LA fameuse phrase.
Je raccroche les crampons.
Merci Footbal.
Pep Guardiola is one of only two managers in English top-flight history to manage in 10 seasons and finish in the top-four each season.
The other? Don Revie with Leeds United between 1964-65 and 1973-74. #lufc
