Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch has had a dig at his U23 players today.
Discussing the attitude of his senior squad, Marsch says he's found the U23 players have bigger egos.
Asked about the core of his Leeds team, he told talkSPORT: "It works both ways, the positives are that they have worked so hard to get here, they know how much it means, they understand both the city, the club, the fanbase and they understand what it means to be a part of Leeds. They are also incredible young men, they come every day and work so hard, like honestly our professional team has less egos than our Under 23s team.
"We're still working through our 23s team to make sure they are doing things correctly. They're a still a good group, but it is just a big reflection of where the professionals are in the club. It also has meant that they've felt the pressure of staying and making the fans proud.
"They've harboured the stress on the fans back and I have felt that, I could see that early on and how we could perform at our optimal every day in training, but most importantly in game day."
On the attitude of his first teamers, Marsch also said: "Yes, I think it has got to do with the character of men we have in our team. From day one, they have accepted me and they have tried to learn the new style of football I want them to play. The work ethic every day is at a very high level and it is a lot of fun to work with them."
