Leeds fans can’t believe Dean Smith’s Bielsa comparison to Cardiff City

October 9, 2018

After the 1-1 draw against Leeds at Elland Road on Saturday, Dean Smith faced the media and complimented Marcelo Bielsa’s side. He compared them to Neil Warnock’s Cardiff City whilst speaking to The Yorkshire Evening Post, and The Whites are adamant that any comparison to Cardiff is far from a compliment.


A lot of Leeds fans have read the headline of the article and lost their minds. Cardiff are a shocking side to watch when it comes to actually playing football. The Bluebirds have got by so far by being an aggressive side that use brute force to bully their way through matches, very little in the way of passing accuracy and keeping the ball on the deck comes to mind when thinking of Cardiff, and Bielsa’s Leeds are a polar opposite of Warnock’s side.

Instead, when Smith spoke after the game and compared the two sides, he was referring to the way that The Whites look to press their opponents when they haven’t got the ball, which is actually similar to what Bielsa encourages his side to do. However, a lot of the Elland Road faithful simply weren’t having Smith’s comments and they hate the idea of their magical Argentine gaffer being compared to Neil Warnock.









The Whites are far from happy with Smith’s comments and will be keen to show him exactly why their side is nothing like Warnock’s Cardiff.

Hmm. I know Bielsa is one of Peps mentors and idols. Don’t think straight lines an simplistic football has anything to do with it.

Leeds should take it as a massive compliment we were excellent at Griffin Park last season. Took the piss against Leeds twice.
