On December 15, Beijing time, a 17th round of the Premier League was the first to be played, and a tragic case was born.
Manchester City, which plays at home, faces Leeds United, which is willing to attack without showing weakness, and frequently stages scoring good plays.
2-0 in the opening 12 minutes, 3-0 at half-time, 14-1 on goal. Both centre-backs scored and the score was 7-0!
A series of figures showed a one-sided situation, Andelsa was considered to be Guardiola's teacher, this time the master duel, the apprentice sat firmly in the coaching bench, and the master was depressed, crouching on the sidelines, bowing his head.
It was Leeds United's worst start to the league since the 1930-1931 season, and after this game, Leeds United had a record of 3 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses, accumulating only 16 points.
With one more game, Leeds United are 16th, just five points ahead of the relegation zone.
At the same time, this is also the most painful defeat in the coaching career of the veteran Bielsa, who has never lost 7 goals in a single game since he took charge in 1990.
After the game, Premier League star Hargreaves bluntly said that this is an unfair showdown, the strength gap between the two teams is shocking, Manchester City is faster than any team, they do not have mud and water control, every touch is purposeful!
Yes, it's also one of the biggest gaps between Leeds United and Manchester City. Faced with the world's only club with a total value of more than $1 billion, Leeds United was not afraid and did not blindly stick to it. This is Bielsa's philosophy of football, preferring to die standing rather than living on his knees.
De Bruyne also admitted that when they saw that Leeds United were willing to take the initiative to attack, they knew that the opportunity was coming!
Bielsa commented on the match after the game: "To be honest I don't think the gap between the two teams is as big as the score, when a team looks undesirable, it is not a problem of one player, but a problem of the head coach' command! We had already made arrangements before the game, but the players did not do the same in the game, which is a problem for the head coach to direct on the spot! ”
Bielsa admitted it was his worst performance in four years at leeds United and the most disappointing game since the team returned to the Premier League.
Unconsciously, "Crazy" Bielsa is also 66 years old. Although he is no longer young, he still insists on the style of play above the attack, never backs down, never changes.
Bielsa had a rather short career as a player, having played for Rosario Central and then for Newells Old Boys, and after only 4 games combined, Bielsa announced his retirement.
Defender-turned-Bielsa took over the coaching whip of the Old Boys of Newells in 1990 and led the team to the Argentine First Division that year before heading to Mexico.
In 1998, Bielsa returned to Argentina as head coach of Sarsfield, where he also led the team to victory.
In September 1998, Bielsa succeeded Passarella as the head coach of the Argentine national team, and in the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, Bielsa led Argentina to play 13 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss in the qualifiers.
The highlight of Bielsa's coaching career was undoubtedly at the Athens Olympics, where he led Argentina to the Olympic title. Since then, Bielsa has coached the Chilean national team, Athletic Bilbao, Marseille, Lazio, Lille, and in 2018, Bielsa became the head coach of Leeds United and led the team back to the Premier League after many years.
Last season, Leeds United was able to rush into the first half of the Premier League, but this season, Leeds United is facing the risk of falling into the relegation zone, I hope That Bielsa can not change their coaching nature, looking forward to Leeds United continue to give everyone a wonderful game!
