The Argentine tactician came on the defence of his beleaguered compatriot, claiming that his team should be higher in Spanish top flight football’s standings.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 Bielsa, believes that the eight points against Valencia’s name in La Liga points table does not show the complete picture.
He added that Pellegrino’s men are deserving of more points, given the quality they boast off and the performances they gave against Real Madrid and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
"Numerically has some points lower than it deserves, but the performance and power that I think is intact," said Bielsa. The much heralded tactician was talking to reporters at the conclusion of Los Leones last training at the Lezama before travelling to
Levantine lands.
Continuing on the topic, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 coach stated that he has not observed ‘substantial changes’ between the current side and the Valencia that was managed by Unai Emery last season, claiming that the schema being employed at the Mestalla is similar to what
it was before.
Taking out time to reflect on current http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 coach, Bielsa recalled the period when the tactician used to respond to his orders at Velez Sarsfield during the 1997/98 season. He stated that as a footballer Pellegrino was ‘very thoughtful and attentive to
the tactical aspects,’ remarking that he was coach in the making during his playing days.
Changing the topic to his own side, Bielsa emphasized that it is clear that Athletic need to return to their winning ways. He shared that Los Leones need a succession of good results on their back to find their footing again, claiming that they have been
shackled since the season began.
Discussing Athletic players at an individual level, Bielsa remarked on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-c13609 Llorente’s fitness levels. He indicated that the attacker has made marked progresses and is ready for regular action.
He also took out time to praise http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gaizka-Toquero-c14388 and his smooth transition from right back to the more advanced position he has adapted to.
Bielsa stated that Toquero has the qualities to perform: "he's fast, surprising, aggressive, has passing game, focusing either on the sides ... I thought he might become an option and I also said that their training had played in that position. He's an alternative.”
