Hide AdWe rounded up some of the back pages today in response to that conference.The Leeds United Supporters Trust called Bielsa's statistical slideshow a 'coaching masterclass' and pointed the finger at the media for giving the head coach cause to call the extraordinary press conference.
The Trust said in a statement: "Today, Marcelo Bielsa delivered a coaching master class on the lengths he goes to on understanding his opposition - a masterclass he would not have had to deliver if it wasn’t for the reaction we have seen in the media this week.
"Marcelo has been treated disgracefully by a number of media outlets.
"We feel the reaction from these sections of the media has been disproportionate and some of the “impartial” pundits that have commented have lost a lot of credibility.
"Everyone at the Leeds United Supporters’ Trust is fully behind Marcelo Bielsa."
