Leeds United made Liverpool overwhelmed, Bielsa gave a classy response

DBasia.news – Leeds United coach, Marcelo Bielsa opened up after his team was able to make the defending champions of the English League, Liverpool struggled to win.

Leeds United was able to surprise Liverpool. Playing as a guest team, The Whites played hard at Anfield. Leeds overwhelmed Liverpool as they were able to get up after conceding.

Leeds indeed had to lose by a score of 3-4 in the match which took place at Anfield, Saturday (12/9). However, this did not make Bielsa dissolve in disappointment.

Biels already knows Liverpool has a very sharp front line. Therefore he has prepared his defense seriously for facing this fight.

Unfortunately on the field, the Leeds defense appeared less than optimal. One of the indicators is the two fatal mistakes that resulted in a penalty.

“We can’t ignore the fact that we conceded four goals. “Many of those goals should have been avoided,” Bielsa said as quoted by the BBC.

“You can’t predict football but there are situations that you know are going to happen. But that doesn’t give you the security that can stop them from happening.”

Despite the weakness of the defense, Bielsa praised the mentality and work ethic of the Leeds players. Scoring three goals against the defending Premier League champions cannot be done by just any team.

Moreover, Leeds was able to serve the typical Liverpool Gegenpressing under Jurgen Klopp. Usually, the clubs that come to Anfield will suffer with the Reds’ style of play.

“We play according to our style. “There were periods when Liverpool dominated and there were many periods where the game was evenly matched, even in some moments we were able to be superior,” continued Bielsa.

“The players are playing calmly and confidently. That feeling of confidence keeps you from being afraid and your teammates would help each other so you don’t get nervous. “

“When you know your teammates are there to support you, it gives you extra confidence and motivation,” he added.

The appearance against Liverpool was a valuable asset for Leeds to navigate the Premier League. The Whites certainly didn’t want to just hitch a ride and be relegated again.
