Leeds United midfielder Mateusz Klich has revealed to The Yorkshire Evening Post the simple but effective message that head coach Marcelo Bielsa has given to the players.

Bielsa was appointed as the Leeds head coach in the summer, and the Whites are taking the Championship by storm this season.

The West Yorkshire outfit have won their first two Championship matches of the season, getting the better of Stoke City 3-1 at Elland Road before hammering Frank Lampard’s Derby County 4-1 away from home at the Pride Park Stadium this past weekend.

Klich has featured in both of his team’s league fixtures so far this season, and the 28-year-old Poland international has revealed the simple but effective message from Bielsa to the players.

The midfielder told The Yorkshire Evening Post about Bielsa: “He says that if we won’t attack then we won’t win so we just attack.

“He wants us to push forward, keep pressing and make it very uncomfortable for our opponents. He wants us to not be afraid of the ball and to keep our opponents under attack.”

Klich moved to Leeds from FC Twente in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by The Yorkshire Evening Post to be worth £1.5 million.

The midfielder struggled to make an impact at Elland Road last season and was sent out on loan to FC Utrecht in the January transfer window.

The Poland international has been superb for Leeds so far this season and has established himself as an important player in the team.

The 28-year-old has two goals and providing one assist in two league matches for Leeds this season, according to WhoScored.
