It’s not fair if we win against Man City

KOMPAS.com – Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa said his team “reached the limit” by beating Manchester City 1-1 on Sunday (4/10/2020).

Leeds United and Manchester City played an energetic match when they met in the fourth week of the 2020-2021 Premier League.

The advantage in the match went to Manchester City, who scored a goal through a low shot from the edge of the area by Raheem Sterling (17 ‘).

Leeds United then worked hard to achieve the tie. The Yorkshiremen finally managed to equalize at the time of the game through Rodrigo, who took advantage of an error by goalkeeper Ederson from a corner.

After the match, Bielsa admitted that his team had difficulty fighting Pep Guardiola’s troops.

“The start and the end of the game was for City. At the end of the first half and at the beginning of the second, we played better,” Bielsa told the BBC after the game.

“It’s easy for them to dominate us. It doesn’t take much effort. In the meantime, we have to push ourselves to the limit to be at their level.”

The Argentine coach said his team had difficulty processing the ball against a team with an intensity like Manchester City.

“We couldn’t take the ball away from them and they took the ball away from us easily.”

“We did it with a lot of effort, a lot of aggression to get the ball back and our confidence grew,” he continued.

However, the coach was reluctant to say that his team deserved all the points of the match.

According to him, the 1-1 score is a true reflection of the game.

“It wouldn’t be fair if we won the game. It could happen, but it wouldn’t be fair,” he said.
