da realbet： Leeds may want to put the draw against Cardiff firmly in the past but some supporters are taking the time to commend Kalvin Phillips for his actions prior to kick-off on Saturday.
da dobrowin： In the bitter cold, the Leeds academy graduate decided to hand his jumper to a mascot, helping her to keep warm ahead of the match starting, for which he has rightly been praised.
It’s not the first time he has taken such an action, either, and that says a lot about his character and willingness to look out for others, which is becoming rarer in modern-day football.
Here is some of the praise he has rightly been receiving from fans.
Phillips is a brilliant competitor on the pitch too and vital to Marcelo Bielsa’s style of play, and though he couldn’t prevent the three-goal collapse he has been a stalwart for much of the season.
As a result, there has been significant interest in him from Premier League clubs, with even Manchester United interested, though since he is such an all-round asset on and off the pitch the Whites will be determined to keep him at the club.
Some believe he shows real leadership attributes in the way he conducts himself and argue that he has the potential to be a future captain of the club. Many fans would likely love to see that day come because he is Leeds through and through.
