 Leeds boss Bielsa has been a revelation at Elland Road, with the Whites sitting top of the Championship after five games

 There is growing hope in West Yorkshire that Bielsa's attractive style of football will lead the results and promotion this season

 Across the Pennines, Manchester City are enjoying success under Pep Guardiola's free-flowing football

 But Jose Mourinho's Manchester United side have got off to a dreadful start to the season and the manager has been criticised for his pragmatic style

 Asked about the differing styles of Mourinho and Guardiola, Leeds United boss Bielsa said: "[Sir Alex] Ferguson, who was a great coach, never won without a certain style of play

 "But it would be very unfair for the public to think that success is determined by one way or a different way

 "[By comparing Guardiola and Mourinho] what you are doing is comparing tastes or personal feelings

 "If you try to simplify football to Guardiola versus Mourinho for example. "No coach will tell you that the style of football you play is more important than success

 "But what they might say is that, with this style, we will be in the best position to put ourselves closer to gaining success

" Leeds play Middlesbrough on Friday night as they seek to extend their lead at the top of the Championship

 The Elland Road club have not played in the Premier League since their relegation in 2004

 This is their eighth straight season in the Championship, having endured three years in League 1 before then

 As for the two Manchester clubs, they both lag behind Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea and Watford, who all have maximum league points so far this season

 Manchester United were today drawn against Juventus, Young Boys and Valencia in the Champions League group stage draw

 And City were handed ties against Shakhtar, Lyon and Hoffenheim.

What Serena Williams Has Said About Being a Jehovah's Witness - Breaking News 247 - Duration: 6:09.

 Ahead of the U.S. Open this week, Serena Williams surprised fans when she said she won't celebrate her daughter Alexis Olympia's first birthday this Saturday — or any, for that matter

 The reason? Her religion.  "We're Jehovah's Witnesses, so we don't do that," the 36-year-old tennis superstar told reporters at a U

S. Open press conference.  According to the official website for Jehovah's Witnesses, followers of the church don't believe in celebrating birthdays "because we believe that such celebrations displease God

"  "Although the Bible does not explicitly forbid celebrating birthdays, it does help us to reason on key features of these events and understand God's view of them," the website said

One of the reasons for Jehovah's Witnesses to avoid birthdays is they believe the celebrations have pagan roots

 Though Williams doesn't often speak about her faith, she has opened up about it on some rare occasions

 According to Jehovah's Witnesses official website, the religion is a form of Christianity that follows both the Old and New Testament of the Bible

Jehovah's Witnesses see Jesus as the son of God and savior, but do not believe he's the "Almighty God

"  Further, members of the faith do not believe that a soul survives death, and subsequently do not adhere to the Christian idea of Hell, according to the site

 Among the more discussed practices, include that Jehovah's Witnesses do not vote and remain politically neutral

Additionally, Jehovah's Witnesses believe blood is sacred, and thus do not get blood transfusions

 Much like birthdays, it's also advised that Jehovah's Witnesses refrain from religious holiday and U

S. holiday celebrations — including Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day and Halloween

 Jehovah's Witnesses are also recommended to not attend the weddings of those of other religions (though Williams and Ohanian were present at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's nuptials at St

George's Chapel in Windsor earlier this year).  Williams and her siblings — including fellow tennis star Venus Williams — converted in the early '80s, according to the Washington Post, after their mother Oracene Price

 The outlet reported in 2015 that Williams has previously said she attends church, and as part of her faith has participated in the required evangelizing door-to-door

 As the Washington Post noted, Williams often thanks the Jehovah God after her matches

 There have been times, though, where her faith has both faltered and bolstered her

 According to the New York Times, after an profanity-laden outburst against a U

S. Open line judge in 2009 — during which the woman claimed the athlete threatened her — Williams had to face elder witnesses

 "They had to have a talk with me," Williams told the outlet in 2007. "And I knew it was coming

I just felt really bad, though, because it's like, that's not who I am."  She further explained, "They just talk to you

They show you Scriptures. Not ministers, they call them elders. It's almost like a reprimand, but it's not bad, because in the Bible it says God loves you, and if someone reprimands you, they love you

"  Years prior — when her sister Yetunde Price was murdered in 2003 — Williams also leaned on scripture, attending three Jehovah's Witnesses meetings a week, according to the Times

She said, "I tried to develop a better relationship with God."  As her career has amped up in recent years — and she married Alexis Ohanian, 35, and welcomed their daughter — Williams seemed to allude to a step back from, and a return to, her faith

 "Being a Jehovah's Witness is important to me, but I've never really practiced it and have been wanting to get into it," she told Vogue last year

 Of her husband, she added, "Alexis didn't grow up going to any church, but he's really receptive and even takes the lead

He puts my needs first."  And now, as she noted earlier this week, they're focused on the needs of their daughter
