Bielsa discuses Brentford draw

The Yorkshire giants drew for the fifth time this season at the weekend, dropping from first to third in the EFL Championship table. 

A late Pontus Jansson goal rescued the Elland Road club and salvaged a draw against seventh placed Brentford. Speaking about the game thier illustrious coach said to the club's website: 

“We started well and we ended well, the 30 minutes in the middle was hard for us to play.

“We didn’t dominate the game, we were not dominated either, the game had many unpredictable situations and all of the unpredictable situations were in favour of the opponent.

“Many free balls and 50/50 balls that could be for us or the opponent, seemed to be won by them.

“When you want to build the game, you need the ball, we had less ball than we wanted to attack.

“The necessity to impose our style made us take excessive risks at the beginning when we played out from the back.

“The option was to either play long balls or play from the back and we chose to play from the back.

“We made many mistakes though because we were trying to do things and because of that we had the feeling that the opponent was hurting us and the opponent didn’t make any mistakes that could hurt them.”
