Salim Lamrani has provided another glowing tribute to a Leeds United player, this time Gjanni Alioski receiving kind words from Marcelo Bielsa 's former right-hand man.
United's Bielsa last season has posted a series of social media posts in which he's given insider information of the qualities with which the Leeds players bring to the side, on and off the pitch.
Giving Alioski the nickname of 'The Brave', Lamrani has praised the North Macedonia international for his courage, effort and resilience.
Taking to Twitter, the Frenchman posted the following message:
"Gjanni Alioski demonstrates the virtues possessed by the inhabitants of working-class neighbourhoods: respect for his elders, an emotional temperament, attachment to his social roots and fraternal familiarity.
"As a player he is always an asset to his team. During games, he is never intimidated by the size or physical power of his opponent and he compensates for his modest build with an excess of courage.
"His defensive aerial game is always particularly impressive. He always plays with maximum effort and he is capable of replicating high intensity runs without showing any particular fatigue."
