A very impressive clip of Leeds United pressing Birmingham City Bielsa-style has emerged and it’s hard not to respect the grind and effort put in as the players chug on in their quest to reach Premier League promotion.Marcelo Bielsa doesn’t do half measures, that much is obvious. Should you be fortunate enough to fall under his command, you can bet your bottom dollar that within months of working under his gruelling regime, you’d be the fittest you’ve ever been, and likely will ever be.Watch Leeds United Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv Below
Indeed, there’s a reason why the Argentinian carries with him a reputation of overworking his squad before the end of the season. Some might even argue that last term’s collapse, which saw Leeds fall against Derby County before reaching Wembley, was a consequence of so-called ‘Bielsa Burnout’. He would suggest otherwise.
A clip that summarises everything about the grit and determination of a Bielsa squad recently made its way on to social media, and it’s impressive, to say the least.
It’s worth noting that Patrick Bamford’s heroic efforts demonstrate why he’s still a regular on the starting sheet, despite failing to score in his previous seven Championship appearances.
Eddie Nketiah, Leeds’ other attacking option, remained firmly on the bench, even after his international hat trick for England U21s.
Bielsa must have his players on a diet of porridge and petrol – it’s the only rational explanation.
