Leeds United midfielder Anton Stach is notorious for winding up the opposition before games, with AFC Bournemouth his latest victims.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Leeds United<\/a> ace has been among the best signings of Leeds\u2019 summer, with one expert labelling Stach as Leeds\u2019 best signing<\/a> after his \u00a319.9 million arrival to Leeds from Hoffenheim<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Whites needed players who could hit the ground running at Elland Road, which is why much of the focus was on peak-age players, but also ones with the physical capabilities to handle the rigours and demands of the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Intangibles like leadership and having the right characters are also vital, with Stach ticking those boxes in particular thus far. His social media presence and online personality have had the fanbase in hysterics and quickly made them fall in love with the German.<\/p>\n

Prior to scoring a brilliant free-kick and notching an assist at Molineux, Stach was teasing the Wolves fans<\/a> last weekend. It\u2019s a risky strategy if Stach makes an error or has a poor game, but it has mostly paid off for him so far.<\/p>\n

Stach\u2019s Instagram trend started back with Leeds against AC Milan<\/a> in pre-season, which was another game that the midfielder scored a stupendous goal in. Stach was also on the wind-up before Sheffield Wednesday<\/a> hosted Leeds as well.<\/p>\n

Leeds fans loved Stach\u2019s pre-Everton post<\/a>, and his antics are somewhat reminiscent of an old Leeds cult hero in the Marcelo Bielsa era. Mateusz Klich has been compared with Stach<\/a> for his \u2018Klich-housery\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Cherries are now coming to Elland Road this afternoon, which is why Stach has decided to post an edit of him playing the popular \u2018Fruit Ninja\u2019 minigame, which was extremely popular a few years ago for tablets and mobile phones.<\/p>\n

Stach will face Tyler Adams in the midfield battle today, with Adams commenting on facing Leeds<\/a> in an interview yesterday. He was asked whether it would be an easier game for Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

Adams responded: \u201cNo, not at all. It doesn\u2019t matter if they lost, won, whatever. You go to Elland Road, it\u2019s always going to be a difficult game. And that\u2019s what the atmosphere brings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what that fanbase brings. It\u2019s like an extra player for them. So, yeah, they\u2019ve had an incredible start. Obviously, Daniel Farke, I worked with him briefly before I had joined Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he\u2019s a great manager, so I know that he\u2019ll be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leeds will have to hope that Farke and Stach are both ready for what is yet another stern test for Leeds, even at home. Leeds have a point to prove against Andoni Iraola as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds United midfielder Anton Stach is notorious for winding up the opposition before games, with AFC Bournemouth his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":455217,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[92679,748,393,4884,1860,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-455216","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-anton-stach","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-leeds","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115275997274779489","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=455216"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455216\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/455217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=455216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=455216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=455216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
