Nohan Kenneh was brought up on Marcelo Bielsa murderball. Now he’s ready to kill it with Hibs after surviving the former Leeds manager’s brutal training sessions last season.
Kenneh brought an eight-year association with the Elland Road club to an end to move to Easter Road last month and got his first taste of action in yesterday’s 2-0 friendly victory over Hartlepool United in the Algarve. The midfielder, who models his game on idol Patrick Vieira, strolled through 45 minutes in the searing Portuguese sunshine.
And the 19-year-old reckons the tough upbringing under Bielsa - which included the notorious non-stop, no fouls murderball - was the perfect preparation for the rigours that lie ahead in the Scottish Premiership. Kenneh said: “Bielsa was massive. His style of play is different to every other manager.
