Heckingbottom reveals excellent relationship with Leeds United star manBy Kevin Harper -

Leeds United boss Paul Heckingbottom has spent plenty of time in his relatively short tenure thus far getting to know the ins and outs of his squad, and he has revealed that he has an excellent relationship with one of his players in particular.
There has not been a huge amount of positives in the season at Elland Road in all honesty, but one would be the emergence of Samuel Saiz, and the man in the hotseat at the Yorkshire outfit has declared the bond between the two is a very good one.
The Spanish playmaker has been a key player for Leeds this term, despite making the headlines for all the wrong results earlier in the campaign when a spitting incident left him banned for six matches.
During his suspension the form dipped for the Whites so badly that Thomas Christiansen departed and Heckingbottom came in.
The new boss has been reflecting on how he been taken by Saiz, and how he enjoys the relationship the pair have struck up since his arrived.
“Samu’s a player where I can honestly say hes probably one of the players I understand best in the group simply because he doesn’t hide anything,†Heckingbottom told BBC Radio Leeds.
“He’s so honest in how he plays the game, what he says, how he does things, how assesses himself, so he’s his biggest critic in terms of football behaviour.
“He knows he let people down and hes determined to turn that around. But also he knows when he performs well, he knows what he has to improve in his game and it’s that type of determination that we want in our players. Once they accept that and they understand that you can push them and make them as good as they want to be.
“I have regular conversations with Samu about football, he loves the game and hes someone who I understand pretty well and I like those conversations with him because he’s so honest, there’s no bravado with him and no front with him, what you see is what you get.â€
Unfortunately for Leeds, their star man has a hindering injury which is beginning to restrict him, so his workload is needing to be managed, but at the same time they still require him to pick up results to end the season strongly.
The Whites are next in action on Good Friday when they host Bolton Wanderers at Elland Road. If the Yorkshire side are to get the victory they crave, Saiz will most likely be crucial to their chances.
