Leeds scuppered their chances of automatic promotion after losing five of their last nine league games, including a final-day defeat to bottom club Ipswich.Now, Bielsa will be looking to reach the clubs goal and end their 15-year exile from the Premier League via the play-offs.Bielsa added: “We analysed deeply the last four games but we did that on the first day of the week. “We draw the conclusions that we thought were the right ones and we start dreaming of what is coming.“We are full of hope, we have to hope that we’re going to reach our goal, we are dreaming of this and we are full of hope and when you feel like that you feel safe.“That’s how we feel. We are longing to face these new opportunities that we have.”
