A lot of Leeds United fans have flocked to a post from Phil Hay that contains comments from Marcelo Bielsa ahead of the Whites’ Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.
Speaking at his press conference, the Argentine confirmed that Rodrigo was the only player in the squad who has tested positive for the virus amid the current pandemic.
He then went on to say that everyone must follow the rules after the UK government announced a new lockdown, which started on 5th November.
However, he insisted that he was not the person to ask about this because he admitted that he went to the supermarket without wearing a mask, which is breaking a compulsory rule.
This post drew the attention of these Leeds fans who love this story from their manager.
So, what did these Leeds fans think of this comment from Bielsa?
I think it’s very unreasonable for any shoppers to stay in Morrisons when he accidentally forgot his mask. Show some respect, leave the store and let the maskless god (on this occasion) shop in peace!

Are you bothered by this?
No, it was just a mistake
Yes, he should be more careful
This post from Hay continued to attract Leeds fans’ attention, who enjoyed this story from their boss, but one fan suggested that the club could get a points deduction because of this.
I don’t why I keep deluding myself into thinking there’s no more love I can have for this man, but he just keeps pouring fuel on the love bonfire

While some Leeds fans are looking to the lighter side of Bielsa’s admission, many have used the post from Hay to express their love for their manager despite his claim he may have flouted the rules.
