Wolves head coach, Marcelo Bielsa has spoken to his players make threatening opposition defence a key part of their game instead of sitting back and enjoying possession, which does count nothing at the end of the game.

Leeds lost by 1-0 to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night when Raul Jimenez scored his third goal of 2020/21 at Elland Road to slip the newly-promoted side to 10th place.

They come against in-form Aston Villa at the Villa Park on Friday night and Dean Smith’s side are hoping to keep their winning drive alive to make a club record of five consecutive wins in five games.

According to the Argentine, failure to exert the attacking force gives challenging teams more confidence to excel under pressure.

“In a team like us that attacks, it is not good when our attacks don't create danger,” he said.

“When this happens the opponent feels that we are not able to cause them much danger, and this makes the game more even.

“The conclusion is that we understand why we lost the game even though we shouldn't have, and we dominated the large majority of it.”

The last meeting of the two sides was in April 2019 when Aston Villa’s club record ten-game winning run came to an end in a feisty 1-1 draw at Elland Road, a much which sparked controversy when Leeds scored a 72-minute goal after Jonathan Kodjia laid stricken on the turf without playing the ball out of the pitch.

Marcelo Bielsa after the resolution of chaos which saw Wl Ghazi receive red ordered his men to allow Albert Adomah a free path to goal to equalize, a decision which won him FIFA Fair Play Award last year yet allowed automatic promotion spot to Sheffield United.

“The decision represents the whole group – this is the kind of conduct we wish to follow independent of whether we win or we lose, he added.

“We would do what corresponds in the situation. The result is not important; it means you are only doing things for your benefit rather than what is right.”
