Brighton defender Ben White has spoken of his time at Leeds United last season under manager Marcelo Bielsa.

One subject which comes up is Bielsa's murderball training session, something White's Brighton side do not replicate.

"It's so tough," he told The Times. "They do six-minute slots, so the starting XI will stay on for six sessions of six minutes, but the other team would be rotated and fresh coming on and running us ragged, really. It was about the intensity and playing under fatigue, to get us fit.

"It's very unique."

White also discussed his spectacular volleyed goal against Charlton in his final match for the club at the end of last season.

"That's an area of my game I need to improve, to get on the scoresheet a bit more.

"That goal, I'm not sure really how I've done it. You won't see one of them for a while. I was actually in the wrong position. I should have been in the box to score a header, but luckily it went in, so I didn't get into any trouble."
