Leeds United: Fans profess their love for Marcelo Bielsa after comments on Millwall win
Leeds United have been professing their love for Marcelo Bielsa after he commented on Tuesday’s comeback victory over Millwall.
The Argentine has claimed that living with professionals has allowed him to admire them and refused to take any credit for the comeback because he didn’t want people to think he was the one that did it (via Phil Hay). It’s a move that sees the Argentine distance himself from any credit for the stunning victory, however, it’s the second time the club have pulled off a spectacular feat in a short space of time under the 64-year-old’s management.
Two fans didn’t hold back in their praise of the club’s manager.
The most wholesome manager in football

Change the sabbath to Bielsa press day … the man just delivers gospel – modesty and is humble beyond belief. Shelters the players when they flounder & stands back from praise when they win! We will never see his like again #Leeds

Earlier this campaign, the club fought back to overcome stubborn resistance from Birmingham City as they let a lead slip, not once but three times to eventually win 5-4 at St. Andrew’s Trillion Trophy Stadium, suggesting the former Marseille man has installed some form mental strength in his squad. Fans were left falling in love with the fact Bielsa refused to take any credit for the comeback as they took to Twitter to react. Here is a selection of tweets from the Elland Road faithful:
We don’t really deserve him

Takes the blame when things don’t go well, but wont take credit when things do go well. A true leader and an inspiration to us all. We are so lucky to have him.
