What Rodrigo Moreno has said about Marcelo Bielsa and Leeds United's 'murderball'

Rodrigo Moreno has described Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa as a 'scientist' with the way he thoroughly analyses his side’s matches.

The Spanish striker became the Whites’ record-signing after completing a £26m from Valencia earlier in the summer.

Since moving to Elland Road, he’s had to adapt to a very intense training regime under Bielsa - who is well-known for his very demanding sessions.

As well as this, the Argentine coach tries to analyse football as much as possible, something Rodrigo noted when speaking to Rio Ferdinand for BT Sport.

"I’m very happy to be here, it’s an important challenge for me at this moment of my career. I’m 29, probably the best years of my career and I think this is a good moment for me," Rodrigo said.

"Bielsa, he has a totally different way of training - he’s like a scientist. He analyses everything, everything he does in training is for a reason.

"We did something in training today called ‘murderball’, so the names say everything."

Rodrigo became Leeds’ record-signing when he arrived from Valencia in August, overtaking Ferdinand’s £18m deal when he joined from West Ham.

The former Valencia star admitted to the former Leeds defender that he didn’t know who the last record-signing was at Elland Road: “I knew I was a record-signing, but I didn’t know you were the last record."
