Kemar Roofe reveals why Marcelo Bielsa shouted at him in training

Former Leeds United striker Kemar Roofe has hailed Marcelo Bielsa as a genius, noting the Argentine opened him up to 'a different way' of approaching football.

The ex-Elland Road hero left the club following three strong years this summer to join Belgian heavyweights Anderlecht, where he has since further flourished.

Leeds United's January cup tie date confirmed
