Leeds United lost 1-0 against Aston Villa in the Premier League clash on Saturday at Elland Road.

Before the match started, Marcelo Bielsa, the Leeds boss, was seen chatting with Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

In the post-match press conference, when Bielsa was asked to comment what he said to Martinez, the Leeds boss replied (h/t Leeds Live): “We just said hello. We’re compatriots.”

Martinez, who joined in the summer transfer window from Arsenal for a fee in the region of £20m, has been simply outstanding for Villa this season.
