Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa has given his take on former Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce being thrown a cabbage against Preston North End, as quoted in Leeds Live.

During Villa’s Championship match against Preston at Villa Park on Tuesday evening, one fan of the home team threw a cabbage at Bruce, who was dismissed from his role after the game.

Leeds head coach Bielsa has given his take on the incident to Leeds Live.

Bielsa told Leeds Live when asked about the cabbage incident: “I don’t see this is as barbaric as you see it. This means I have bad habits and you have good habits.”

Moving on

Villa are in a bad run of form at the moment, and one can understand why the Villans decide to part company with Bruce.

Bruce is one of the best managers around who knows how to get teams promoted to the Championship.

However, performances and results of the Villans so far this campaign have not been great.

It will be interesting to see who succeeds Bruce in the Villa hotseat, although one suspects that a decision will be made only during the international break.

As for Leeds, the West Yorkshire outfit are at the top of the Championship table at the moment with 22 points from 11 matches, level on points with second-placed Middlesbrough.
