Eddie Gray has delivered his opinion on Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa after he secured a winning start against Stoke.
Eddie Gray believes that Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa is going to implement his style of play at all costs and that he will not be concerned by what others think.
The Whites kicked off the Bielsa reign in brilliant fashion on Sunday by beating Championship title favourites Stoke 3-1 at Elland Road.
The Yorkshire giants were the superior side thanks to goals from Mateusz Klich, Pablo Hernandez and Liam Cooper, as they started the new league campaign in the perfect way.
Bielsa’s tactics were on display for everybody to see and his players steamrolled a Stoke side that were relegated from the Premier League last season.
“He (Bielsa) started with a great result today so when the players are coming in three times a day to train it will not bother them now,” Leeds legend Gray told LUTV.
“I think the new coach, the impression I get is I don’t think he cares what anyone thinks. His methods and that’s how it’s going to be.”
Bielsa will be delighted with his first game in English football and he is an experienced manager who has been in charge at some high-profile clubs such as Marseille, Lazio and Athletic Bilbao.
The Argentine boss is renowned for his distinctive style of play, with his Leeds side embodying that at the weekend by pressing high and having a tremendous work-rate.
They were brave in possession, and this new-look side will hope they can compete at the top end of the league table this season for promotion back to the top flight.
