Millwall striker Steve Morison has slammed Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa in an interview with

The Lions meet the Whites in the Championship this weekend in💮 a crucial game at both ends of the table.

Leeds boss Bielsa was reprimanded earlier in the season for ‘spying’ on a Derby County training session prior to a meeting with the R✤ams.

Mor♔ison was surprised by the ordeal and the situation doesn’t sit right with him.

“I don’t think it’s right. He tried to s♔mokescreen i🌼t a little bit saying he does more analysis than anyone else.

“It’s common knowledge that everyone does exactly the same stuff. If he’s got that much information ꦯthen why did they need to spy as well.

“All that stuff about him watching more games and knowing more stuff 𒈔about all the players is a load of nonsense. If he did 🥃he wouldn’t need to send someone to the ground and watch someone training.”

The legendary Millw𒁏all man had an unsuccessful spell at Leeds b📖etween 2013 and 2015, scoring five goals in 42 appearances.

His recor🌌d at The Den is decent though, netting 92 goals in 330 games for the club.

TBR Verdict

These comments from Morison suggest that he is keen to crank up the pressure on his former clu🍸b ahead of Saturday’s contest.

A natural-born goalscorer, M⛦orison didn’t have the best of spells at Elland Road and he now relishes the chance to get one over the Whites.

It remains to be seen ♕wಌhether Morison will play this weekend.

Boss Neil Harris has seen him as a peripheral figure this season and he faces a fight to 🍷regain his place in the team.

The veteran striker is clearly desperately unhappy at how Leed🎀s co⛦nducted their business earlier in the campaign.

As an old-fa🎐shioned talisman that isn’t really a surprise and Morison will be desperate to be given a﷽ chance by Harris this weekend.
