In the 27th round of the Premier League, Leeds United was bloodied by Tottenham Hotspur 0-4 at home, suffering four consecutive league defeats and six consecutive winless games, and the veteran Bielsa finally failed to survive the second year of his career in the Premier League. Leeds United are currently in sixteenth place in the standings, just two points above the relegation zone. In the face of many tragedies caused by big 6 giants, the white roses under the argentine coach are crazy and messy. Bielsa's departure is no surprise, but Leeds United's relegation fate this season remains unpredictable.
If someone says, "If football were all robots, I'd get everything," he'd be either crazy or a footballer, and Bielsa had both. As the originator of high-post pressing, Bielsa once used a 3-4-3 formation to convey his ultimate offensive concept to the world. In the 1990s, Bielsa began his coaching career with his playing parent team, Newell Boys, and then moved to the Mexican league to discover talent in Atlas and The Americas. In the summer of 1997, Bielsa returned to his home country to coach Sasfeld, and a year later took over the title of Argentine national team. In the six years under Bielsa, the Pampas Eagle showed a magnificent style, but unfortunately there was little honor in the competition, and only one Men's Olympic gold medal in Athens supported the scene, which became The last gift that Bielsa left to Argentine football.
After three years of silence, Bielsa chose to re-emerge as the manager of the Chilean national team. In the summer of 2011, he joined Athletic Bilbao in La Liga and later moved to Ligue 1 to coach Marseille and Lille. Until the summer of 2018, Bielsa took over Leeds United, who was still struggling in The Championship, and it took him only two seasons to help the veteran club return to the Premier League after 16 years as a Championship winner. Last season, Leeds United, as a promotion horse, won a good result of ninth in the Premier League.
Admittedly, Bielsa is not a world-class coach, he has never coached a big club, and he can't come up with a decent championship trophy, but in attack, no one is more obsessed than him, because in his dictionary there is only courage to move forward.
Success also attacks, and defeat also attacks. Do not seek to live on your knees, but to die standing. Bielsa made a personal mark at Leeds United, making the White Roses a team with a bone. This season, when a number of key players in Leeds United were injured, their fundamental disadvantages as a civilian team were exposed, and no reinforcements were made during the winter window, which doomed Bielsa today.com' to die.
With 60 goals conceded in 26 rounds, Leeds United have surpassed their total last season's total conceded goals, bottoming out among the 20 Premier League teams and becoming the first team to concede at least 60 goals in the first 26 premier league games since Barnesley in 1997-1998. Now it seems that Leeds United's change of coach is also poor, and it is reported that Bielsa's successor will be former Leipzig manager Mahi. However, judging from the lackluster coaching history of the five major leagues in the United States, Leeds United's relegation road is not optimistic.
Admirers of Bielsa will sing for his romantic idealism to the death, but there will always be utilitarians who scoff at his stubbornness. Bielsa brought Leeds United back to the Premier League from the Championship, but he couldn't wait for the white rose to bloom again. Today, the frenzied Leeds United need to calm down, but Bielsa will never stop charging.
