Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United will face Millwall in the Championship on Saturday.
Earlier this week, Millwall striker Morison told South London Press & Mercury that he plans to become like Zlatan Ibrahimovic against Leeds in the Championship match between the two sides at The Den on Saturday afternoon.
The 35-year-old striker joined Leeds from Norwich City in January 2013 and moved to Millwall on a permanent contract in the summer of 2015.
Cooper has been on the books of Leeds since 2014, and the 27-year-old centre-back has hit back at his former teammate Morison.
“He is important but all that tripe about Ibrahimovic and all that… if it makes him feel better then so be it,” Cooper told The Yorkshire Evening Post about Morison’s comments.
”We know what we have got to do. We know our jobs and the standards we’ve set ourselves and if we reach those standards we’ll leave ourselves in good stead to get a positive result.”
Tough match
Millwall are always a team who are hard to beat at home, and Leeds will not find it easy to pick up all three points at The Den.
An early goal for the home team is going to make it hard for head coach Marcelo Bielsa’s side to win at Millwall, but the Whites do have enough good players to be confident of a positive result on Saturday afternoon.
