The Leeds United winger has been in excellent form this season.
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa spoke to reporters after his side’s thrilling 3-2 win over Millwall yesterday, and offered high words of praise for Pablo Hernandez, lauding the Spaniard’s bravery, as quoted by Leeds Live.
The Whites now sit in second spot in the Championship table, five points adrift of league leaders Norwich City, but perhaps more importantly, two points in front of third placed Sheffield United.
And if Leeds do gain promotion this season, they will have Hernandez to thank.
The 33-year-old has been quite simply superb for the west Yorkshire outfit this season, chalking up 12 goals and 11 assists in 31 Championship outings the far.
And when speaking to reporters after yesterday’s game, Bielsa raved about the former Swansea City ace’s quality, as quoted by Leeds Live:
“He is not someone who likes to talk a lot or make behaviour to show this. But he usually asks for the ball when it is difficult to receive. He tries to take the risks that are usually hard to take for players. He is someone that always keeps the feeling we can harm the opponent every time.”
Next up for Leeds is a a trip to Birmingham City on Saturday, before they travel to Preston North-end three days later, and Hernandez will be hoping to continue his fine form by firing his side to another couple of victories.
