Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has praised Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa ahead of the game at Elland Road today, as quoted in Leeds Live.
Leeds will lock horns with Chelsea at Elland Road in the Premier League this afternoon.
Bielsa has earned a strong reputation in England, having taken the Whites to promotion from the Championship at the end of last season and then having the team playing some wonderful football in the Premier League this campaign.
Leeds’s games are very entertaining to watch and goals are guaranteed, and Chelsea boss Tuchel has praised Bielsa and has also hailed the Whites.
Leeds Live quotes Tuchel as saying about Bielsa: “There are big teams out there with big history, strong players, strong history. Bielsa is one of the most fascinating managers out there and a big personality.
“Like with any game, I don’t put the pressure on myself. I don’t need to out-tactic Marcelo Bielsa. We will focus on us: how to attack, how to defend.”
Chelsea are favourites
While Leeds will fancy their chances of winning against Chelsea at Elland Road, the Blues will head into the match as favourites.
The Blues have a better team and have some superb players, such as Mason Mount and Timo Werner, and fans of the London club will expect all three points.
However, Leeds have shown time and time again this season that they take the game to all teams, including those who are in the top six.
