CHERRIES winger Jaidon Anthony shared how he spoke with teammate Max Aarons about new manager Daniel Farke before heading out on loan to Leeds United.
Anthony is currently on loan at the Championship outfit, after a last-minute deadline day move that saw the Whites send Luis Sinisterra on loan to Vitality Stadium.
Defender Aarons, who joined Cherries this summer, worked with Farke at Norwich City, and almost reunited with the German at Leeds.
However, when Cherries came calling, Aarons changed his mind, opting for Premier League football on the south coast.
Speaking on the official Leeds United podcast, Anthony shared: “Obviously it's early weeks, but he's [Farke] one of the most detailed managers I've worked with.
"The meetings are very long and he plans out exactly what he wants us to do. Then it's up to us as players, we have a lot of options when we're on the pitch and know where each other should be.
"It's then down to us to put it into practice and we'll see if we can create from the positions he's in. He's very detailed in what he wants and I'm having to learn a lot quickly.
"Obviously he's been so successful in this division before and I spoke a bit with Max Aarons who is at Bournemouth now and he only spoke highly of him. He said he'd be perfect for my play style and that I could learn a lot from him.
"I'm seeing that already and hopefully I can continue improving as a player and have some great success with this team. Training is very intense.
"The staff are very demanding but I'm used to that from my time at Bournemouth, there's a culture there as well in the way they train. It's been hard for a few years and I had a good pre-season in fairness so I came in and was ready to go.
"I've enjoyed it and it's been intense but I've really enjoyed it."
So far Anthony has made four appearances for Leeds, scoring once.
