Leeds United boss explains how Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp helped them in promotion to Premier League

Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has admitted using the Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp playbook to help be promoted to the Premier League. The Whites booked their return to the top flight after 16 years following West Bromwich Albion's defeat at Huddersfield Town on Friday. Bielsa, speaking in June ahead of the restart of the season, made no secret of cribbing from Klopp. “In this season, Liverpool and Klopp have been the reference for everybody in football,” he said. “Always you have teams and managers that attract you and you want to copy them. Human beings always want to copy those who win. In this case, I have seen a lot of positive things. “We have examples like Liverpool and we have opposite examples as well. We have seen teams score a lot immediately and others, which have needed a game to get going." And back in December, the Leeds boss was similarly impressed with the job done by Klopp at the European, world and English champions. "The best team is always the best team because they always understand they can improve,” said Bielsa. “When one team stops developing, the consequence is they get worse. If you watch Liverpool over a long period, they’re not better or worse, they always play well." Source- Liverpool Echo
