Marcelo Bielsa on BT Sport
On Liam Cooper: “Cooper has a small knock in his gluteas. That’s why he’s not here today.”
On Spurs: “There’s changes in the way they play. They’re a team who push more into the opponents half. They try to manage more the ball. In any case, given the level of the players they still generate worry.”
