Mercelo Bielsa says that game against Manchester City is his worse as the manager as Guardiola hails Kevin De Bruyne.

Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa says that the game against Manchester City is the worst performance he had as the Leeds boss.

Leeds suffers a huge defeat in the hands of Pep Guardiola’s men after the lost 7-0 to the Etihad side.

Speaking after the game Bielsa said: “This is the worst performance in the four years. At no moment were we able to balance the game. The sensation we gave off was that anything they attempted we couldn’t prevent.

“It’s not that City played very well – it’s a lot more noticeable how badly we played than how well City played. City play like this all the time, or similar to it, but we have never played so badly in these four years.

“It was not good enough. There is nothing positive to take away from our performance. I can’t find anything that can be of value.

“There is no justification I can offer, the game was exactly how we thought it was going to be. We prepared ourselves to avoid everything that happened and we didn’t manage to get anything.”

Meanwhile Guardiola hails Kevin De Bruyne for his performance after coming back from Covid 19.

“Kevin trained well the last two days. Against Wolves, he lacked rhythm, but it is not easy to come back [after Covid-19].

“In these types of games, that are a bit more open and they put a lot of players in front, Kevin is the best.

“We are really pleased he is coming back because we need him. He struggled at the start of the season but hopefully now he can maintain this rhythm longer.”
