Robbie Fowler and Mateusz Klich reacted on Twitter after Marcelo Bielsa wowed journalists and fans with an incredible presentation of his behind-the-scenes work at Leeds United in an emergency press conference.

Bielsa called a meeting between himself and press on Wednesday evening to address ‘Spygate’, after the EFL decided to launch an investigation into a Leeds coach being spotted at Derby County’s training ground before last Friday’s match.

The Leeds coach was reportedly caught with binoculars, and the situation has since been the talk of social media. The likes of Jermaine Jenas, Stuart Pearce and Dean Saunders have all blasted the Whites boss for his so-called spying.

Bielsa admitted that he had sent ‘spies’ to watch every club before fixtures this season, not just Derby, and showed off an extensive 300-hour presentation prior to the Derby match alone. Ex-Leeds man Fowler and Whites midfielder Klich reacted on Twitter.

Leeds sit at the top of the Championship, four points clear of Norwich City and Sheffield United on 54 after 27 matches. The Whites annihilated Derby, beating Frank Lampard’s side 2-0 thanks to goals from Kemar Roofe and Jack Harrison.

Bielsa’s men are next in action on Saturday, as they travel to Stoke-on-Trent to take on Nathan Jones’ Stoke side. The former Luton Town boss made a disappointing start to life as Potters manager, losing 3-1 to Brentford.
