Andy Towsend has said on Premier League Productions that Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa has a secret worry.
The former Chelsea star made the comments following the goalless draw between Leeds and the Blues at Elland Road in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Although the Blues had chances and will be disappointed that they could not get anything from the game, the West Yorkshire club will feel that they deservedly picked up a point.
Townsend said on Premier League Productions: “When they don’t get in front, Leeds, I think Bielsa would always have a bit of a worry, a secret worry, that later on, as the game’s on and his team don’t quite have the ability to press as hard, and that they can lose matches. That has happened before. So today he will be very pleased with a clean sheet.”
Worry for Marcelo Bielsa?
Leeds are a team who score goals and concede goals, and the clean sheet that the Whites kept against Champions League hopefuls Chelsea will encourage Bielsa.
One point that Townsend raises about pressing is something that many Leeds fans will not agree with.
Leeds are one of the fittest teams in the Premier League, and the intensity of pressing from the players from the first minute until the very end of games is constant.
The Leeds players do not tend to show tiredness on the pitch during a game of football.
The reason why the Whites are not able to keep clean sheets is because of individual errors and at times superior quality of the opposition.
