The Leeds United boss has answered in detail his thoughts in playing Georginio Rutter and Joel Piroe up front and asked reporters not to talk about it again
I asked a little about Joel and Georgi and how that partnership is going. Do you have any temptation to try Joel [Piroe] as the nine to see what he could do in matches, or are you really committed to seeing Georgi play there week in week out?
"So, you can't compare. There's never a guarantee that a player who's scored 20 goals for team who fights against relegation, or in mid table or whatever, then also 20 goals and more for team was in a different position. More like fighting for top position and with all respect to Swansea, but I think it's different if you have to score 20 goals for Swansea or 20 goals for Leeds United. So, with all respect because also the setup is different.
"So with with smart movements in behind and with all respect to Joel and his finishing qualities, but I wouldn't label that his pressing qualities are the best in this league. So for example, there is Patrick Bamford or Georginio Rutter, like in the top position, because they always press with intensity or with running behind. So with respect to the qualities of Joel, but he's not the player who's lightning quick and mobile like Speedy Gonzales, who stretches the opponents.
"And the last thought, or perhaps second or third last thought, I'm a bit on fire at the moment. Try to calm myself a little bit down. I'm just thinking about the team and I am not here to win the Golden Boot. I'm not here to win the Golden Boot. I just want to be successful as a club and as a team. So, if you want me, my main target is that my striker to win the Golden boot to have to play in each every second. But I want to be successful with the team.
"I always talk about it. It's not about me. I want to be there in order to do a good job for the club and I want to support my players. I'm there in order to help my players but I've won also the league twice, I know what is necessary as a team not to win the Golden Boot, but also what is necessary in order in order to win this league. And believe me we need goals from everywhere in the park.
