Leeds boss Bielsa admits 'copying' Klopp and Liverpool tactics

Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa admits he's drawn inspiration from Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool title-winners this season.

Bielsa is interested in winning managers and he has analysed Klopp's Reds as they have stormed to their first title in 30 years in record-breaking fashion.

The Leeds boss plays a similar high-energy pressing game to Klopp and says he has picked up pointers from him.

“In this season, Liverpool and Klopp have been the reference for everybody in football," said Bielsa.

“Always you have teams and managers that attract you and you want to copy them. Human beings always want to copy those who win. In this case, I have seen a lot of positive things."
