MARCELO BIELSA: OUR GOAL IS TO OVERCOME SHEFFIELD UNITED

Head coach on Sheffield United.

Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa spoke to the media ahead of Saturday’s Yorkshire derby with Sheffield United.

The Whites who sit in second in the table, welcome the third placed Blades to a sold out Elland Road, in a clash which could have a huge bearing on who takes an automatic promotion spot at the end of the season.

Leeds were 1-0 winners at Bramall Lane earlier in the season courtesy of a late Pablo Hernandez goal and Bielsa spoke about Saturday’s opposition and how he felt on the importance on getting a fourth league victory in a row.

“All wins are important and no win is more important than another at this moment in the competition,” said Bielsa.

“Taking into account the club we are in, every game is very important.

“Of course we are reaching the final of this competition, so every game becomes more important.

“What we have done so far is important too, because it allows us to be in this position now.

“Teams talk about the head coach that they have and the team says a lot about the head coach they have.

“I have learned a lot from Sheffield United this season, they have a new style of play they have been faithful to their style all season, each player is giving the best of himself.

“One of the features of Sheffield is that they attack without stopping defending and defend without stopping attacking.

“When we won against them it was a hard win and probably we didn’t deserve to win and for us it is a big challenge to play against them and try and win the game.

“Our goal is to overcome Sheffield and win against them.”
