‘Marcelo Bielsa is actually GOD’ – Football fans heap praise on Leeds United boss after outrageous PowerPoint presentation
After allaying fears he would resign, the Argentine effectively revealed he knew everything about the entire Championship
Marcelo Bielsa was hailed as a 'legend' and a 'God' after his incredible PowerPoint presentation in the wake of 'Spy-Gate'.
The Leeds United boss called an impromptu press briefing at the Whites' Thorp Arch training ground at 5pm on Wednesday evening.
The EFL launched an investigation after the Argentine admitted to his controversial method of observing opposition teams training before games.
Derby County boss Frank Lampard had an individual escorted from the premises before their trip to Elland Road.
However, despite fears the former Argentina manager would resign, Bielsa instead admitted to spying on every single Championship team this season before unveiling a PowerPoint presentation.
He said: “I’m going to make it easier for the EFL investigation. I’m going to make it easier for them and I assume my behaviour is observed from the most extreme position.
“I observed all the rivals we played against. We watched all the training sessions before we played them.
“My goal is to make this easier for the investigation. By doing this I assume the possible sanctions by the authorities.
“I don’t want to compare my situation with previous similar incidents.
“I don’t want to make it easier for me by attacking others. Regarding what I’ve done – it is not illegal. It’s not specified, described or restrained.”
