Pablo Hernandez is an important player for Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United.
Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa has told Leeds Live that Pablo Hernandez is a silent leader.
Bielsa made the comments about Hernandez following the 3-0 win for Leeds against Norwich City away from home at Carrow Road in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
The 33-year-old, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger, started the match against Norwich and played for 79 minutes.
Leeds head coach Bielsa was impressed with the Spaniard and has spoken highly of the former Swansea City star.
Bielsa told Leeds Live about Hernandez: “It’s really a player that improves his team-mates. He makes his team-mates better and he gives solutions to actions very complicated and he puts his team-mates in better situations.
“He is a real silent leader. He always takes the responsibility for the difficult things and he makes it easier for his team-mates to play. He does all of this without speaking, without saying a word.”
