Ex-Newcastle United star explains why Leeds United players shouldn't like Marcelo Bielsa

For all the praise Leeds United have received this season from media and pundits alike, not everyone has been convinced by the genius of Marcelo Bielsa.

There are some who thinks the Argentinian has had too much praise and have criticised his inclusion on the FIFA world coach of the year shortlist.

Former Newcastle United star Rob Lee is not one of those.

Ahead of Newcastle's trip to Elland Road tomorrow night to take on the Whites, Lee has become the latest to lend his praise to Bielsa and this Leeds side.

“I think he has done a fantastic job,” Lee told GIVEMESPORT.

“Normally if a manager trains you too hard, or too many times a day, the players don’t like you but the players like him and I think that’s the charisma he’s got.”

The Whites are looking to address a two-match losing run by picking up only their second win in the last seven games when hosting Steve Bruce's side.

The Magpies go into the match bidding for a hat-trick of victories after getting the better of Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion last time out.
