Mateusz Klich shares what Jonny Howson said to him after Leeds’ 1-0 win v Boro
Leeds United midfielder Mateusz Klich has revealed what Middlesbrough’s Jonny Howson told him after the recent 1-0 victory at the Riverside Stadium.
Many Leeds fans were left questioning what was said between the two after a video emerged of Howson seeming to speak to the Polish international after the game.
Klich confirmed on his personal Twitter account on Thursday evening that the former Whites captain urged him on to secure promotion to the Premier League.
“Get it done,” Klich shared.
It was Leeds’ third-consecutive 1-0 win in the Championship against Boro, with the three-points maintaining the five-point gap to third-placed Fulham after their injury-time winner against Swansea on the same night.
With 11 games to go, Leeds travel to Hull on Saturday in the lunchtime kick-off with the possibility of opening up an eight-point gap to the chasing pack and adding more pressure on those sides before they play.
There is an added belief and mental strength this season after the collapse in the previous campaign – something that is clear to see after each victory in the Championship with the celebrations of players and fans.
Prediction expert, Nate Silver has delivered a fantastic update on his website FiveThirtyEight this week.
After the 1-0 win against Boro, Leeds now stand a 92% chance of earning promotion to the Premier League, something that has gone up 7% in the past week based on recent results.
Now, we know that doesn’t guarantee anything and Leeds still have to do the business on the pitch but we’d be lying if we didn’t say it wasn’t an exciting update. Players may leave Leeds, but the Whites never leave them – with Howson walking proof of that.
