Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray has said that it would be interesting to see how Leeds United and Marcelo Bielsa would get on in the top flight of English football.
As quoted by the Yorkshire Evening Post, Mowbray said: “I think it would be really, really interesting to see how Leeds would get on in the Premier League if they can get there.”
“I just think if Bielsa gets to the Premier League and if they spend some money would he create a team that can give lots of Premier League teams lots of problems with his positional play?”
Mowbray was talking following his side’s 2-1 defeat at Elland Road at the weekend, a game which he felt was changed by the award of a controversial penalty in the first half.
Patrick Bamford converted the spot kick, and Leeds United went on to secure all three points, despite Blackburn Rovers’ late charge.
As well as complimenting Bielsa on the style of play he has adopted at Leeds United, Mowbray was quick to say that he thinks the Argentinian boss is misunderstood by many people in this country.
“I’m only saying that through talking to him. I don’t see a sneaky, clever guy who thinks he’s better than everyone else. I see a really humble, nice guy.
