Mateusz Klich has told the Yorkshire Evening Post that Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa remained calm at half-time in the dressing room against Rotherham United.

Leeds slipped 1-0 down in the first half against Rotherham on Saturday, and at that time concerns were rising.

Leeds had gone into the game having lost three of their last four matches, and they were far from at their best in the opening 45 minutes against the Millers.

However, Klich insists that Bielsa kept his head, as many around Leeds were panicking.

And the Argentine was right to keep his cool, as Leeds turned things around in the second half.

Klich scored twice for the Whites as they picked up a huge three points to protect their position at the top of the Championship table.

And Klich said: “We were angry (at half-time) because we didn’t play like we wanted to play.

“He (Bielsa) was quite calm. We needed to stay calm, to do our thing and score goals because obviously you need goals to win games.”

Klich took both of his goals well, as the midfielder once again showed his ability to finish.

The Polish international is enjoying a fine goalscoring season, even if the frequency of his strikes has slowed down more recently.

Leeds are next in action on Saturday when they take on Norwich City in a top of the table showdown.
