"Leeds United" coach Marcelo Bielsa caused quite a scandal in England.
The 63-year-old Argentinean admitted to "Sky Sports" television that he had sent a spy to watch the training of future opponents "Derby County".
The intruder was quickly noticed at Frank Lampard's players' practice, and the infiltrated team also released an official statement.
According to M. Bielsa, he takes full responsibility for the criticism.
"Yes, it is true that this person is associated with 'Leeds United'.
I am responsible for that. Whether it's legal or not. Good or bad. It is enough for me that F. Lampard and 'Derby' think it was wrong, just as I must believe that I did wrong.
Yesterday I spoke with Frank and he said that I do not respect the rules of fair play. Indeed, my approach is different, but the most important thing is what Lampard and the 'Derby' team think about this situation," - said Bielsa.
In Friday evening's "Championship" match, "Leeds" triumphed 2:0 and remained the leader in the championship.
