Bielsa admitted to sending someone to watch Derby’s training session ahead of their league meeting

Leeds cemented their place at the top of the Championship by beating Frank Lampard’s Derby 2-0 at Elland Road.A statement from the club read: “Following comments made by Marcelo Bielsa yesterday the club will look to work with our head coach and his staff to remind them of the integrity and honesty which are the foundations that Leeds United is built on.“Our owner Andrea Radrizzani has met with Derby Countys owner Mel Morris to formally apologise for Marcelos actions.“We will make no further comment on this matter.” It is not the first time Bielsa has played the spy game either and following the defeat to Leeds, Lampard revealed he was unimpressed.I dont think that, at any level of sport, its right to send men to break into private property, he said. Its a cultural thing but I was very surprised by it and by the frank admission hes done it before.“Cheating is a big word but this is over the line. I spent 15 hours watching tapes of Leeds game this week and thats what the best managers do. I was a fan of Bielsas from afar but Id rather not coach than send people undercover on their hands and knees in the undergrowth.2
