Some Leeds United fans have responded to Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez’s post on Twitter regarding his brief chat with head coach Marcelo Bielsa.
Before the Premier League game between Leeds and Villa at Elland Road on Saturday evening, Bielsa and Martinez shared a nice moment.
Both are from Argentina, and they were probably just saying hello to each other.
A clip of their exchange was posted on Twitter, and former Arsenal goalkeeper Martinez has responded to it, describing Bielsa as a “maestro”.
Some Leeds fans have responded to Martinez’s tweet and so have some Villa supporters, as shown below.
Meanwhile, Leeds head coach Bielsa has given his take on the performance of Helder Costa.
The former Wolverhampton Wanderers winger started ahead of Manchester City-owned Jack Harrison against Villa.
Bielsa told Leeds Live: “It was very difficult to generate an unbalance in attack. He participated completely in the first half when we attacked better.
“In the first 15 minutes of the second half, we were struggling to create danger, so I opted for Harrison.”
Noel Whelan was not particularly impressed by the performance of Mateusz Klich for Leeds.
The former Leeds striker, who now works as a pundit for BBC Radio Leeds, noted in the second half that the midfielder was frustrated.
Whelan said in the 79th minute of the match on BBC Radio Leeds (7:01pm, February 27, 2021): “Not happening for him at the minute. He is frustrated in his game at the minute.”
Villa won the match at Elland Road 1-0 and enhanced their chances of finishing in the top four of the Premier League table this season.
