The first game is so nice because the atmosphere is so good every time.<\/p>\n<p>MORE LEEDS UNITED STORIES<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause it\u2019s not about the fans only honouring you when you are scoring or doing good assists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s also when you have defensive actions as well. When you have a good sliding tackle, they push you. And I think that gives you something \u2014 more percentages in the games to run even more. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like it a lot so far.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leedsunited.news\/opinion\/three-leeds-united-wildcard-players-who-will-be-crucial-to-premier-league-survival\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stach is a wildcard who will be crucial to Leeds\u2019 survival<\/a> bid, but as could the fans in being the side\u2019s 12th man. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leedsunited.news\/news\/rival-supporters-unite-over-criticism-of-elland-road-leeds-united-fans-will-disagree\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rival fans have questioned Elland Road\u2019s atmosphere<\/a> recently as well.<\/p>\n<p>Anton Stach\u2019s first view of the Leeds fans and Elland Road atmosphere<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time Stach has commented on the fans, having done so when he initially signed.

And so I\u2019m looking forward. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so excited. Yeah, I want to feel the atmosphere because I hear and I saw so many videos of the fans. I mean, the promotion last year over 150,000 people in the city. I think that\u2019s awesome, that\u2019s crazy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the team have a connection to the city. And I think then when you have fans like this, the fans get you some points as well in the league. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also heard some things about the fans about like the tradition of Leeds like \u2018Dirty Leeds\u2019, I think?
