Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United lost against Millwall in the Championship at the weekend.
Millwall star Jed Wallace has told Leeds Live that Leeds United are an “unbelievable side”.
Wallace, who can operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder, made the comments after playing for Millwall against Leeds at The Den in the Championship at the weekend.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side lost the match on Saturday, but the performance of the West Yorkshire outfit left an impression on the 25-year-old.
Wallace has also suggested that Leeds will be right up there in terms of challenging for promotion to the Premier League from the Championship this season.
Wallace told Leeds Live: “Every time we play Leeds we play well. You look through the times we have played them… they are an unbelievable side.
“I don’t know if that when they went down to 10 men, they brought two extra men on, to be honest – it felt like they were everywhere.
“Obviously they have got a world-class manager, loads of good players and that is them without (Pablo) Hernandez, (Liam) Cooper and people like that. They are going to be right up there this season. We knew we had to be at it.”
Promotion challenge
The defeat to Millwall at the weekend came as a massive disappointment to Leeds, but it is only October, and the Whites have a lot of matches left to climb back to the top of the Championship table and stay there.
Bielsa has a strong team at their disposal, and the Whites will be determined to bounce back from the loss at the weekend and return to winning ways in the league after the two-week international break.
