This is the Behind Enemy Lines podcast on the Blood Red channel, bringing you the

inside track on Liverpool FC's next opponents.

Hello is Paul Relock and welcome to the first Behind Enemy Lines

podcast of the new Premier League season.

Liverpool kick off the defense of the title they won in magnificent fashion last

season when they welcome newly promoted Leeds United to

Anfield later on today. And to get the low down on the championship winners I had the pleasure of

speaking to Ben and Cross who covers the club for the Leeds Live website.

He gives a fascinating insight into Marcelo Bielsa, the enigmatic and highly respected manager

who in the space of two seasons has completely transformed Leeds's fortunes and awoke

and one of English football's true sleeping giants.

Benin also tells us about Biels's big money summer signings who could make their

debuts at Anfield this evening and about the player who got away.

Brighton sends about Ben White who also has his admirers at Liverpool.

Hope you enjoy the chat and Guy Clark will be back after the game with the post-match podcast. Behind Enemy Lines on the Blood Red Channel.

Well, hi, Baron, first and foremost,

thank you very much for joining me on the podcast to talk Legionated. How are you? I'm good Paul yeah yeah very very excited for the new

season of course and a long old late for the for the fans here and we've just been watching

the Bieltus stories in the past couple of years now and obviously fell short last year that finally got over the line last season.

And yeah, I mean, we just, I mean, we couldn't have asked for a better six driver. I mean, going to Anfield first game of the season doesn't get any harder but it's exactly what we wanted you know this is exactly what what Leeds United wanted with promotion so very very excited mate.

Yeah I can imagine that's the feeling in the city as well.

Now, you know, obviously we'd be so much better if it was 3,000 Leeds fans coming to Anfield
