Gary Lineker has reacted on Twitter after seeing Marcelo Bielsa announce his entire starting XI for tomorrow’s clash with West Ham.
The former Marseille boss was asked who he’s going to play in the absence of the injured Robin Koch, and was also quizzed on if he’s going to keep West Ham guessing or not.
The Argentine then decided to reveal his entire XI, much to the amusement of the football world who loved this unusual act.
The BBC Match of the Day host tweeted the following after seeing Leeds tweet a video of the hilarious moment.
It was not the first time that Bielsa has done this.
Back in January 2019, the former Argentina boss revealed his entire starting XI for the FA Cup encounter against Queens Park Rangers, two days before kick-off.
It shows a boldness and bravery to Bielsa.
It suggests that he isn’t concerned in the slightest about the opposition knowing his lineup, as he has faith in the players to do the job regardless of how the opponents prepare to thwart his XI.
Additionally, it makes for hilarious viewing. Even the Leeds manager’s translator, Andrés Clavijo, couldn’t help but hide his smile as Bielsa reeled off the names of his starting XI.
