Marcelo Bielsa is going through a moment of great happiness. When it came to exhibiting at his press conferences, he was seldom seen with such a broad smile as on Tuesday. And reasons to celebrate are not lacking: the title of champion in the Championship and, consequently, the promotion to the Premier was added to his 65th birthday. But although revelry and happiness reign throughout the city, it still exists some uncertainty about the future of Rosario. About that, he left a response that did not clear the doubts: "I am so happy that I do not want to abandon this feeling and think about something else," he said.
"This Wednesday we played and, from there, surely we will all need to let all this normalize because the euphoria is contagious, it needs to rest so that we all think clearly, " he explained. He added: "We should not apply anxiety at this time, it is a highly anticipated, highly desired and highly deserved moment. Ideally, we should allow this to last as long as we can. I do not want one sensation to be substituted for another."
In addition, Bielsa stated that Leeds will face Wednesday's match against Charlton for the last date of the tournament with the same seriousness with which he played the rest of the matches. " The objective is to honor the competition. We are going to take the last game with the same dedication as the previous ones. Charlton is a combative team that constantly disputes every moment of the game," he said.

On the other hand, he left some heartfelt words for the people of Leeds and his experience at the head of the team. " It will be a beautiful memory for a lifetime. My greatest triumph is linked to the club to which I belong and in which I was born, but everything that happened was very nice. Unforgettable, very difficult to forget," he explained.

Finally, he confirmed that Carlos Corvalán, his aide-de-camp, received an offer to lead Huddersfield of the English Second Division. "I had decisive collaborators, who finally executed decisions, but I did not make the construction. (...) There is an example of the assessment of the work team that confirms that what I am saying is not exaggerated. Carlos Corvalán was called for a Championship team to lead their team and it is a team that until a year ago was in the Premier League, "he concluded.
