Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa speaks highly of his squad.
Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa is close to one of his finest achievements in management.
He has taken an unfancied Leeds side into the Championship top two, with 10 games to go.
Bielsa has recently managed Athletic Bilbao and Marseille and remarkably he insists his Leeds players are of the same quality.
Bielsa made the comments at his press conference.
Outsiders may disagree that Leeds’ players hold the same quality as players like Ander Herrera, Fernando Llorente who Bielsa worked with at Bilbao, or Benjamin Mendy at Marseille.
Bielsa knows them better than anybody, and his comments could have an effect.
It could be a mind game of Bielsa to inject his squad with confidence for the run in.
Leeds fans have reacted positively to Bielsa’s comments, and compared him to Jose Mourinho, who has become notorious for criticising his players.
