Marcelo Bielsa: We play with obligation to win promotion

Head coach on Sheffield Wednesday.

Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa spoke to the media ahead of Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Sheffield Wednesday.

The Whites return to Elland Road after back to back away trips, looking for a second successive league victory.

Wednesday are challenging for the Play-Off spots in the division and Bielsa spoke about the upcoming challenge.

“From the change of the coach, Sheffield Wednesday have taken good results, they use less players and they keep to their style of play during the games,” said Bielsa.

“For us we have to win the five games left.

“When you have less points to win because you are in the last games of the league, the gap or space for mistakes is reduced.

“In football anything can happen in one game, the game that Norwich played on Wednesday is a summary of this.

“The results of our opponents make us play with more responsibilities, but despite any result they can get, we have to win our games.

“For us to play the games with the obligation to win is something that is not new for us.

“I don’t remember one game this season where we haven’t played to win the game.

“It is no good to make any analysis until this objective is complete, the only important thing is if we get promotion.

“We play with obligation to win promotion, not to make the best season.”
