Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa has said that winger Pedro Neto was the best player for Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday evening, as quoted on BBC Sport.
Bielsa praised Wolves winger Adama Traore as well, but the Leeds head coach believes that Neto was the best player for the Wanderers.
Wolves got the better of Leeds 1-0 at home in the Premier League on Friday evening.
Traore’s superb strike from outside the box came back off the frame of the Leeds goal, struck goalkeeper Illan Meslier in the back, and went in.
BBC Sport quotes Bielsa as saying: “[Adama] Traore is a forward who is complicated but if you look back on the game, independent of the goal, you can see if he unbalanced the game for them or not. For me personally the number seven [Pedro Neto] was their most important player.”
How did Adama Traore and Pedro Neto play against Leeds United?
Both Traore and Neto played well for Wolves and helped the Wanderers to all three points against Leeds.
Traore, 25, was probably unlucky for his thunderous effort not to go in without the help of Meslier, and his overall performance was very good.
Neto, 20, was a huge problem for the Leeds defence and had chances to score himself.
According to WhoScored, Traore took three shots, played one key pass, had a pass accuracy of 79.2%, won one header, and took 47 touches.
Neto took five shots and two were on target, played one key pass, had a pass accuracy of 82.8%, and took 45 touches, according to WhoScored.
