Amid a shocking run of results, Elland Road have slipped into a relegation battle, but Argentine manager Marcelo Bielsa does not back down from the challenge.
What did Marcelo Bielsa say?
The Argentine manager admitted he was worried about Leeds United’s lack of form as the whites find themselves embroiled in the heat of the PL relegation battle, though Bielsa insists it has no plans to fold and leave. The Elland Road outfit have lost four of their last five matches in the top flight, and sit three points above the drop zone on a wave of Liverpool’s 6-0 thrash. Shorn of key figures such as Bamford and Phillips for much of the season, Marcelo’s side have struggled for form – and in the lengthy pre-match exam ahead of this weekend’s clash with Tottenham, the manager turned to his side’s worsening woes.
A little about the topic
Marcelo Bielsa stated that in these four years he has received criticisms or demands that are exactly the same. In this case, they are much more justified, since the consequences of what is done badly are much greater. But according to Bielsa, these are the same problems that at some point they have already endured and were able to overcome. At moments like this when confidence in the leader is lost, which is natural and logical, how can Marcelo defend by the team that conceded the most goals in the Premier League?
Marcelo Bielsa also said that he is trying to solve this problem on a daily basis. As he repeats, when they are a guide in a bad situation, no one trusts what they say. Bielsa is also confident that if he stops doing what he believes in, what they ask him to do, the situation will only get worse instead of getting better.
