Leeds United looked as if they were falling apart again at half time against Millwall on Tuesday.

Indeed, the Whites were 2-0 down at the break, and Elland Road was worried as it looked like their grip on the top two was going to loosen even further.

However, United turned things around by winning 3-2, and as with every dramatic comeback, we have to wonder what the manager said at the break to turn things around.

Interestingly, Phil Hay believes that Bielsa would have been quite happy with what he saw in the first half.

What’s been said then?

The journalist was hosting a post-match Q&A session on The Athletic, and as you can imagine some fans were wondering what was going through the manager’s mind at halftime.

“I’ll be interested to find out. I suspect he was relatively happy with the first half – he looks for dominance and pressure and chances. It was all there but with errors too. It all came good after the break and Millwall couldn’t cope.”

That’s why he’s the boss

This is why Bielsa is such a great manager.

Other head coaches may have gone into the changing room and screamed at their side after such a poor first-half, but the Argentine is good at looking beyond the scoreline.

Yes, Leeds were 2-0 down, but they had plenty of good chances and applied pressure. However, it was their finishing that let them down. In total, the Yorkshire side had an incredible 28 shots but only 11 of them were on target.

In the end, that pressure paid off as the Whites completely turned the game on its head and came away with the three points. Perhaps it was Bielsa’s inspirational words that inspired such a result.
