MARCELO BIELSA: TO BE ELIMINATED IS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT - Leedsunited.com 26/10/21

Marcelo Bielsa has given his thoughts to the media after the Whites were knocked out of the Carabao Cup at the Emirates Stadium.

Speaking after the match, the Leeds United head coach summarised the tie.

He said: “Clearly the differences between what happened in the first half and the second half were produced after the goal.

“We conceded a goal, and the goal we conceded was at the start of the second half. After that, the game wasn’t the same.

“When they scored they feel they can attack less and that allows them to defend better.

"In the first half, they were forced to attack but we defended well and when we recovered it we played forward well.

“After a disadvantage that happened really quickly we had to defend less and attack more.

“When they stopped attacking and they decided to defend more it was difficult for us to take the ball into the opponents half.

“For me, it was a big hope to evolve in this competition. Within that, competing in this is attractive.

“To be eliminated of course, it is a big disappointment.”
