The return of Leeds by Marcelo Bielsa was very weak in the resumption of the Championship after more than three months of stoppage due to the coronavirus. Two mistakes when trying to play from the bottom condemned him: he lost 2-0 on his visit to Cardiff and missed the opportunity to get 10 points from the third, Fulham, who will be the next rival of the Mad team on Saturday. In any case, Leeds continues as leader of the event, now alongside West Bromwich.
The Argentine coach will have a lot to analyze, because the return was not as expected: his team had possession of the ball for most of the match, but it was imprecise, insecure, confused and lacked depth. But not only that: defensive problems when it came to playing ended up affecting the game, because two errors culminated in Cardiff's goals, which he had done little to deserve the victory.
In the first half, a bad pass from Phillips led to Hoilett's goal for Cardiff on his only arrival in the first 45 minutes. Already in the second half, Cooper missed a pass from the bottom that Glatzel used to seal the victory and cut Leeds' streak of five consecutive wins.
