Bielsa on Sheffield United and Chris Wilder: "Teams say a lot about the head coach they have and I've learned a lot from Sheffield United. They have a new style of play, they've been faithful to their style all season and each player is giving the best of himself."

On Sheff Utd and Chris Wilder...
The teams talk about the head coach they have, the teams say a lot about the head coaches. I have learned a lot from Sheffield United's. They have a new style of playing, they have been faitful to their style during the whole season, each player is giving the best of himself and if you have a look at the players of Sheffield before this season you see clearly the evolution. When we played against them it was a hard win and probably we didn't deserve to win and for us it's a big challenge to play against them and to try and win the game. Our goal is to work on Sheffield and to win against them
On players coping with the atmosphere on Saturday...
You think rationally about decisions but the energy to realise your decision, you get this from emotions
...For me, the emotions that you get from big games are very important. And our players have enough experience to manage this experience and this game.
What do you like about Wilder? What would you like to do that he does?
I'd rather answer to this question after the game.
...Any observer that looks at them sees that it is a team with a different style.
Jack Clarke?
He is going to play today (for the 23s). We will see how he takes the game and then take a decision after that.
Will they come to attack?
One of the features of Shefield is that they attack without stopping defending and they defend without stopping attacking.
On getting an early goal..
Both teams have similar strengths, it doesn't matter when you score the goal, what matters is if you are winning or not. If you score a goal sooner rather than later it's important but what's most important is that the goal allows you to win the game.
On Wilder's praise for Leeds...
I don't like to make comments saying that we are superior to other teams.
On Forshaw and Roofe
They are evolving, they are in the final stage of their recovery but I can't say any more than that.
On scoring more goals
We haven't done any specific work on it and I don't think it's going to effect it.
That's it from Marcelo...
Finishes by saying: "Sorry for being late."
He then smiles and finishes with a sentence in English saying that he had to wait for Salim!
Presser ends with an apology from Bielsa for him (or Lamrani) being late (by about a minute). Didn't have too much to say today. Certainly not hyping this game up.

Keeping the even temperament he has maintained all season.
This is a huge game, everyone knows it!
as always, thanks for doing these all season, Sol!
For the first time in two months he has not named the team. Rather ominous, suspect there are some injury doubts, hope not, just our luck to be missing key players when they have a larger &, I hear, fully fit squad.
I'm hoping in the last few games of the season he plays a blinder and names the team a few days before then goes....
naaaaaahh joking and a different team sheet turns up!
(obviously the team would have to be in on it)

I thought he might at least name the opposition team

If he could do that but then the surprise team we put out is Man City then I'd be delighted.
