Leeds United are due to take on Derby County in the play off semi-final at the weekend.
Leeds are set to take on Derby County at the weekend in the promotion deciding fixtures.
However, the usually meticulous Bielsa has suggested that Leeds can’t rehearse for a shoot out in the play offs.
“You can be good at penalties but not in front of 50,000 people. You can be good in games but not in a game like this. What I’m telling you is that it’s meaningless to prepare for penalties,” he said.
The comments have concerned Leeds fans, who feel that they definitely can get better at penalties by taking them in training.
It is worth noting that Bielsa went on to explain that Leeds are still practicing penalties, but he does not see much value in it.
Leeds missed the last penalty they had during the regular season, with Kemar Roofe blazing over the bar against Ipswich Town.
Leeds head into the play offs in poor form, and they take on a Derby side full of confidence.
Frank Lampard’s men finished the season very strongly to seize control of sixth place.
Leeds did beat Derby both times they met in the regular season though, and Bielsa will be hoping his side have the Rams’ number again at the weekend.
