Leeds United fans have been left bemused after a comparison between Gaetano Berardi and Marcelo Bielsa emerged from their midweek win over Middlesbrough.
The Argentine coach was booked after too many coaches were stood in the Yorkshire outfit’s technical area in the closing stages of their victory, according to Adam Pope. It means the head coach is just one more yellow card away from receiving a touchline ban in the Championship (via MOT Leeds News).
One fan called the statistic ‘unreal’.

However, what proves strange is that Bielsa has received more bookings this season (3) than the Leeds centre-half. As a matter of fact, Berardi is yet to get a caution so far this campaign with his only card being the straight red against Millwall, a decision which was eventually overturned. Fans were left in shock after the numbers emerged comparing the two Elland Road figures as they took to Twitter to react. Here is a selection of tweets:
