Premier League: why Leeds de Bielsa are (a lot) less talked about this season

2021-11-06T22:55:29.400Z


Flamboyant for their return to the Premier League last season, Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds are skating. The shadow of the season too hangs over the Argentinian coach. But he has extenuating circumstances.


Four minutes, three goals.

It's English football, but it's also Marcelo Bielsa.

In the space of 240 seconds, Leeds led, was equalized, and again led against Norwich on October 31 (1-2).

A difficult result for the Premier League red lantern, who had scored only 2 goals in 9 matches previously.

That says a lot about Leeds' painful adventure in this 2021-22 fiscal year.

Last season Bielsa's men, most of whom were new to the Premier League, formed a small tornado that took England's breath away.

The Whites placed 9th, and were the 6th most prolific team in the championship.

This season, after 10 days, Leeds are in 17th place with the 16th best attack.

And has lost much of its charm.
