Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa is aware of criticism of his team's defensive work.

In a lengthy speech at a news conference on Friday, Bielsa said criticism of his defensive tactics is nothing new and that he had already previously overcome such issues during his time at Elland Road.

"In these four years, I have received criticisms or demands that are exactly the same," he said.

"In this case they are a lot more justified as the consequences of what's being done badly are a lot bigger. But they are the same problems that at some point we have already suffered and we were able to overcome.

"In moments like this when the confidence is lost in the leader, which is natural and logical, how can I defend myself with a team that has conceded the most goals in the Premier League?

"I daily try to resolve it. As I reiterate, when you are the conductor in a bad situation, nobody trusts in what you say. What I am also sure of is that, if I stop doing what I believe in, which is what you are asking me, the situation instead of improving is going to be even worse."
