“It’s hard to put into words how good last year was,” said the 22-year-old.
“Playing week-in, week-out in the Championship was amazing in a really strong team, which really helped how I want to play.
“It was a really good year, we finished as champions and got the club back into the Premier League, which is where they want to be.”
“When I arrived there I got put with the Under-23s, so I thought ‘oh dear,’ revealed White.
“The Friday before the first game against Bristol City, Marcelo Bielsa put me in the first-team changing room, so that was a relief.”
“I learned so much from him,” said White.
“It was the detail in every aspect of the game that he put the work into.
“His coaching was all about details, the minor details, things like how the ball spins when you pass it, how you’re passing it, why you’re passing it.”
“I also want to thank the Leeds supporters, they were unbelievable every single week, even when they weren’t allowed to be there. They were very good to me, and were always really supportive to me and the rest of the team – and the club will always be special to me.
“I hope the fans will be allowed back by the time we play there, and I just hope that I will get a good reception when we go back.”

Yet another NSC shibboleth is demolished by Ben White himself. We said that working under a world class coach had transformed him as a player, here, he acknowledges the debt.
Why (some of) you guys would seek to dispute something so egregious is the real mystery. After all, improving as a player is the whole point of the loan system. Is it not?
