Marcelo Bielsa press conference: Derby County manager Frank Lampard says preparation is ‘nothing amazing’ as spy row continues
Derby County manager Frank Lampard believes the Premier League’s top managers would not behave like Marcelo Bielsa, as the spying row rumbled on.Leeds’ head coach Bielsa gave a lengthy presentation to journalists on Wednesday while making the frank admission he had “observed all the rivals” in training sessions prior to their Championship games this season.2

Frank Lampard was left infuriated after the intruder, a member of Leeds’ staff, at Derby’s training ground

It comes after a staff member of Leeds was caught by police at Derby’s training ground attempting to gain information ahead of a recent league match, which prompted accusations of spying.Lampard, whose side lost the subsequent game 2-0, has been critical of the Argentine, saying he does not believe the likes of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino of Tottenham would conduct themselves in such a manner.Speaking after Derby’s FA Cup third-round replay win at Southampton, Lampard began his press conference by jokingly saying: “Ready for my presentation, everyone? We do analysis, too.“I haven’t seen [Bielsa’s presentation], I’ve heard about it obviously. “It’s certainly a league issue now. It’s our league, it’s every team, so it’s up to them to decide what goes on from now.“He gave an impression of himself. I haven’t seen Pep Guardiola give that, I haven’t seen Jurgen Klopp give that, 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. There’s no amazement from anyone who works in football, they won’t be amazed in the slightest. It’s par for the course.“I’m surprised definitely. It’s incredible.”2

Marcelo Bielsa revealed Leeds have watched all of their rivals’ training sessions

Bielsa went to extreme lengths on Wednesday to show the detailed analysis he does of opponents aside from covertly watching them train.Former England and Newcastle striker Alan Shearer, working as a pundit ahead of Derby’s game at St Mary’s, admitted sending in people to watch training sessions was not a new thing, but claimed it was “wrong” to do so.“It’s very open and honest from [Bielsa]. Watching teams on the sly is nothing new to football,” he said.“When you go away into European games and you train at the stadium the night before, you are almost certain that there is someone from the opposition watching.“It is nothing new but it is slightly different when it is not an open training session and there is no privacy and anyone can watch you.

"It's disrespectful… it's bang out of order.""Everybody does that analysis. Sam Allardyce will have 5 or 6 analysts doing that stuff for him."Dean Saunders blasts Bielsa over #Spygate and says the #LUFC manager is doing nothing new with his in-depth analysis. pic.twitter.com/PQ1JLB0vGr— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) January 17, 2019

“I don’t think it is anything new but it is definitely wrong. You can’t go into someone’s private training ground when you are not invited, and then take information from that. It is different in an open session.”Ex-Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas, who had called for Leeds to be deducted points in the immediate aftermath of Bielsa’s initial comments, added: “It is wrong, as simple as that.“In terms of punishment, those players are there (top of the league) by merit and have played brilliantly all year. Should they be punished on the basis of what the manager has done?“We are not all naive but it doesn’t feel right.”
