Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa proved to be a social media hit this week when struggling to pronounce 'Ipswich' - and the video has been viewed over 2.5million times!
In the press conference following their incredible 1-1 draw with Aston Villa, in which they allowed the visitors to equalise after controversially taking the lead at Elland Road, the Argentine was then asked about their final game of the season against Ipswich.
The Leeds boss brought the room, including himself, to laughter with his pronunciation issues and the original video of the moment, which was filmed by our very own EFL expert Tom Carnduff at Elland Road before being shared by numerous accounts including Soccer Am, Four Four Two, ESPN, the Guardian and the Daily Mail, has now been viewed by more than 2.5million times!
The moment took the edge off what had been a serious press conference which focused on Bielsa's sportsmanlike decision to allow Aston Villa to score unopposed in Sunday's 1-1 draw that mathematically ended the club's extremely faint hopes of earning automatic promotion.
However, on Friday the Leeds boss revealed that he will personally pay the fine issued to the club for failing to control their players in the wake of Mateusz Klich's opening goal which came when Jonathan Kodjia was down injured.
In the aftermath, Villa's Anwar El Ghazi was shown a red card. That's alongside yellows for Leeds striker Patrick Bamford and Villa midfielder Conor Hourihane.
Bielsa was heavily criticised earlier in the season after admitting that his staff routinely sent spies to opposition training grounds in a bid to gain an advantage, but he proved here that he has a strong sense of fair play.
