Real Madrid and Spain legend Iker Casillas has sent a three-word message to Leeds and Marcelo Bielsa on Twitter.
The 2010 World Cup and three-time Champions League winner was reacting to a tweet from Leeds, which showed the Argentine boss announcing his starting XI against West Ham.
Bielsa was asked if he was planning to keep the Hammers guessing about who would replace the injured Robin Koch at centre-back.
Surprisingly – or not so seeing as it’s Bielsa – the former Marseille boss responded by naming his entire XI.
He certainly wasn’t interested in keeping David Moyes on his toes, to say the least.
You can see Casillas’ three-word message below.
It’s great to see a global figure such as the ex-Real Madrid glovesman tweet that he likes Bielsa.
It comes after the former Athletic Bilbao manager was nominated for the FIFA Men’s Coach of the Year award, alongside the likes of Jurgen Klopp and Zinedine Zidane.
Just by having the extremely popular Bielsa in charge, it feel like Leeds’ stature around Europe is growing regardless of their on-field achievements.
It was a bold move to name his starting XI two days early.
We can only wait until Friday evening to see if it backfires on the Yorkshire-based outfit or not.
