Javi Gracia's Leeds United press conference highlights as coach previews Palace and provides new injury update

I don’t know if there are many changes from my last experience. Always was hard this competition, always very demanding. Now in this moment, we are arriving to the end and all the teams can feel that moment and all of them make an extra effort and maybe it’s the moment you can see all the teams in a better level. In my opinion, I don’t find many changes.

I think Brenden now is concerned to score more goals for the team but he is doing a great job for the team playing in between the lines, creating play and helping a lot in the defensive work. That is the balance we need, when we are defending we need all of them to have the same mentality as Brenden. When attacking in the future we want to give him more skills to finish better, more clinical. It’s something that’s coming, he has the right attitude.

I think it’s difficult when the players you have don’t understand many things but I can tell you first of all very good professionals and they accept all my decisions and always with good spirit because they only have one objective: try to help the team. After, sure they want to play more. Yesterday one of the first things I did was to thank all the players, the behaviour they have trying to push the team from the bench, from the stands, maybe different from other clubs. We have very good atmosphere and it will help us get our objectives.

I could feel the relation between the supporters and the team from my first game. For example when I was at the memorial for Christopher and Kevin, it’s something you can feel the difference in the club, you can see the relation between the supporters with all the club. It’s something really emotional and something we have to keep for the next years.
