The Danish actor recalled on BBC his passion for the team of Marcelo Bielsa and that his father was a fan of the London team. “He wanted me to be a‘ gunner ’too. But I had bigger ambitions.

King of the north
The 49-year-old artist compared the famous series with his love club, according to infobae.com/america: “They have more things in common than they imagine. Drama, uncertainty, love, defeats and battles for the throne. Fans ranging from the Arctic to the Amazon. From Belfast to Buenos Aires. Leeds United goes through our veins, like an old virus that consumes us, ”he said.
“There is a new King of the North. It can smell in the air. The best coach in the world came to save us from despair, ”he said in a clear reference to‘ Game of Thrones ’. “Now Leeds whisper softly. But we believe that Marcelo Bielsa is the Chosen One. The godfather who trains Leeds to play again, as he once did with Don Revie. Come on Leeds! ”He closed.
The chosen one
Coster-Waldau had referred to Bielsa like El Salvador and had argued that he should keep the throne in the series that starred: “There is a theory. Everyone believes that an elect will come and save the day. The chosen one! And I think everyone thinks it’s Jon Snow, but really you have to pay close attention to a guy named Bielsa, who arrives and magically transforms the world into something great. When all is lost, he will go to the North and magically transform it into a paradise, ”he adds.
