On Roofe's injury - how much of a blow - do you need more luck?

You can draw your own conclusions on that and I never like to talk about things that could be used as a justification. They say sometimes that God is sometimes never harsh but sometimes he hangs people! We will see how God behaves with us!


One change to the team then....

Roberts in for Roofe. Marcelo already named his team again.


Marcelo now talking to 5 Live...

Leeds unknown in South America but Leeds followed since Bielsa came here - still loved in Chile (from a foreign journo this one)

The only thing that I can say, as a maximum goal we all have the aspiration to be loved, this is a common thing for all human beings and I love Chile. I felt loved by Chilean people. And I never forget who admirable the people are who built Chile every day.


Has it been difficult getting to the heart of English players

All the opposite. The English players have very developed their capacity to respond to emotional situations. I am talking about our group, our team. I am talking about my group, my team, I can only talk about my team.


On what Leeds has given you...

When you have the privilege of playing every two weeks in front of 35,000 fans, it's something that you can only thank and feel gratitude for.


How do you deal with the pressure to win and still enjoy it?

Traditionally in English football you have always had the time to develop your idea because time allows you to get the best final result and this is culture in today's world. Nowadays nobody has patience and the positive things you have done before are forgotten imemdiately and people are always expecting positive things. I read an article and this talks a lot about this subject. They give the example of Real Madrid and Real Madrid - out of the last 5 Champions League they have won 4 of them and the last one was just some months ago. But even if in this case when you have won 4 or out 5, when the team stops winning there is a crisis. It means the person who gave something, instead of getting gratitude, they only develop the obligation of having to win constantly and this article puts another admirable expample...it says that some time ago, when you make a favour to someone, you could feel the gratitude of the person receiving the favour, But now instead of feeling gratitude people think they have the right to ask for another favour again and again and again. And for me it's easy to make a link between all these thoughts and the question you asked me. If you don't make a final link between the final result and the path you choose, not making the link is the only way to survive in this profession. But those who value public results reject this, those who value public results either they praise the good things or they condemn with strength the bad things. I'm not looking at you to find out you are getting bored - but I like telling this...


Why no one on ones - only speak in pressers

As I can't tell the truth I prefer not to give an answer!


That's it from Marcelo....

Some very deep thoughts at the end there with 5 Live, fantastic stuff as always.

Disappointing news regarding Forshaw.

posted on 21/2/19

His rhetoric is awesome put things in a way it is difficult to be questioned & always keeps things away from the player.

Compare him to colin colin is / was is a joke. How he was ever allowed through our gate baffles me to this day & for the rest of my natural life.

Are you disappointed that Forshaw will not come back in the next two games or that he will return after that kebab?
My feeling is that whilst I would prefer Roofe in instead of Roberts who I think is naive at best, other than that, the starting 11 on Saturday is the strongest 11 at the club.

Disappointed he is not fit. He was supposed to be playing in U23s tomorrow. We need all hands on deck. Sick of seeing the bench with no experience or game changers and an injury list that never seems to get lower than 6.

Also, read somewhere that Jack Clarke was diagnosed with a virus after his collapse.

Probably the best diagnosis for what could have been something much more serious!

Elsbels I’m disappointed when Forshaw is playing.

Absolutely. Chuffed that it was a virus and nothing sinister. Given he looks flushed alot and tires quickly, some may have thought it was something nasty.

Thanks Sol, another treatise on Zen and the art of football coaching. I can't wait to read his autobiography,
