    Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa was under the limelight on Wednesday evening after he explained his motives behind the infamous spy-gate incident.

    Bielsa explained his method of studying an opponent before a game and showcased all the efforts that went into it.

    In the lengthy press conference, the Leeds boss maintained that what he did might be perceived as unethical, but it was not illegal.

    Derby counterpart Frank Lampard was not impressed though

    “It’s certainly a league issue now because it’s the league, it’s every team, so it’s up to them [the EFL] to decide what goes on from now,” he said, according to Goal.

    “He gave an impression of himself. I haven’t seen Pep Guardiola give that, I haven’t seen Jurgen Klopp give that, [Mauricio] Pochettino give that. They do it behind closed doors definitely, but they don’t do it to the public.

    “It’s probably a nice eye-opener for the fan to see it because most of these things are done behind closed doors. They’re done everywhere so there’s no amazement from anyone who works in football. They would not be amazed in the slightest, it’s par for the course.”
