If Marcelo Bielsa has one fault in press conferences, it’s his tendency to tell the truth. Yes, it’s refreshing to see a manager say what he actually thinks, but sometimes wouldn’t you just like to hear him say “everything is fine” when he and everyone else knows that it’s not?
A fairly unique press conference, in which Bielsa battled with a fire alarm for most of it. Said he was disappointed with the result rather than dissatisfied with the performance. Doesn't feel the defeat is crucial but says Leeds can't deny they've lost a very important game.

So Bielsa said that “we lost a very a very important game” against Sheffield United, and he’s not wrong. It would have made the rest of the season a bit easier, but since when do Leeds do it the easy way?
