Brenden Aaronson opens up on the secret reason he struggled at Leeds United last season

Leeds United achieved 100 points in the Championship last season, losing just four games all season and winning the title as well.

There was a run of one win in six towards the back end of Leeds United’s season, but they also lost just one of the final 28 league games as well.

That doesn’t mean everything was plain sailing for Daniel Farke throughout the campaign, with form and consistency issues for some individuals at different stages.

Illan Meslier was taken out of the team at one stage but Brenden Aaronson also had his fair share of struggles. Leeds fans were frustrated by Aaronson last season, even if he contributed to nine goals and two assists.

It’s on international duty where he has spoken to Goal and spoke of issues he had last term with form and fitness. “I had five days during that international window, so I went home, and it was just the best five days. It was just so nice to be home, relax, see my family, because I hadn’t been home all year.

“I just chilled at home, got to be in my old bed, got to see my sister, got to see my family. Stuff like that. Sometimes you just need it and, at that point, I needed to just be able to go home. I was homesick. It helped me so much to just get my head out of everything.”

“On one side, of course you’re p—-d. You want to be a part of things. You want to be a part of your national team. You miss out on chance to win a trophy, and that’s just so tough. Looking at it now, though, it really was a blessing in disguise for me.
