Bielsa has said his Leeds players will not kick the ball out
In April, Leeds players did not put the ball out when Liam Cooper left Aston Villa striker Jonathan Kodjia on the floor, and Mateusz Klich quickly scored the opening goal in the same move.
A brawl broke out with the Villa players frustrated, and Bielsa sportingly ordered his players to allow the visitors to equalise.

“We have reached the common decision with the players, we decide to adapt 100 per cent to the rules and we understand that if we have one player (down) we understand that we don’t have to put the ball out of the pitch.
“We also think that if a player from the opposing team is down, we shouldn’t interrupt the play and put the ball out.
“We all know that the person that has to take this decision is the referee.

“But we don’t want to disappoint any of our fans or the fans of the other team, we think because it’s what the rules say that the person that has to make the decision is the referee.
“We just want to find a solution to this doubt.
“Before the game we will tell the referee and the head coach of Derby and the captain of Derby that we will behave like that.
“We think we are doing the right thing, I hope I am not wrong.”
