Chris Wilder on Sheffield United Loses and Trusts
Adam Murray on Barnsley Michael Sollbauer’s defense
4 weeks after their arrival, Diego Llorente has yet to throw a ball for them, as Rodrigo received a record pay from the club, but Patrick Bamford’s form means that he has rarely been noticed in his most productive position. The Spanish will have a vital role to play, but learning Bielsa’s not easy strategies is not a quick process. Tactically and physically, “Bielsaball” is hard work.
But the last face of the Leeds, the Brazilian winger Raphinha, can make his house oppose Wolverhampton Wanderers tonight. Perhaps not from the beginning, like Bamford, Helder Costa has stepped up his game in the early weeks of the season, and Jack Harrison almost gets the go-ahead when he’s available, but Bielsa has realized everything he likes about a player who’s only made pictures of him in a fortnight.
The Argentine coach looks a bit like one of those car fans who likes nothing more than dismantling an old engine to play with, for little news here and there.
At his press conference, he casually abandoned the concept of turning Raphinha into a central offensive midfielder, a role that Rodrigo effectively adapted to when Pablo Hernandez was injured. Bielsa plans to make Llorente a user capable of playing as a midfielder, as his compatriot Pascal Struijk has done. Robin Koch’s ability to play was also noticed.
But it is in the long term, and the arrival of a crowd of young people with Raphinha, Rodrigo, Koch and Llorente shows that a 65-year-old coach who renews his contracts every year thinks so. believes that sports director Victor Orta has discovered a player who can more or less lead directly to the industry and who comfortably adapts to his highly effective and attractive gaming taste.
“If the game took a position today, he would be in the group,” Bielsa said as he headed to the media at Zoom on Friday. “His adaptation was very fast, instantaneous.
“That’s why I thank Victor Orta because he’s a player capable of adapting very well to our taste for the game. “
Orta had a smart motion window, in Bielsa’s eyes.
Rodrigo’s adaptation to the position, highlighted through his draw against Manchester City, made the need for politics for Hernandez less pressing, so seeing nothing in the market, at least not at the right value, Leeds continued . “with the new equipment that Orta had provided.
With Hernandez in shape again, it will be attractive to see if Rodrigo’s 27 million pounds are back in the bank. He also played open, but Raphinha may be next in line if Costa or Harrison points.
“It’s one more choice to the right position, to the left position and finally to the central offensive midfielder position, but essentially it’s an end that can play from the right or the left,” is the rating. Bielsa’s latest addition.
Anyone who likes to play with cars will say you have to give them a smart run before deciding how you did it.
Leeds had their feet on the court before the foreign stop in October, 4-3 on either instruction against Liverpool and Fulham. They won a tight derby at Sheffield United and took a point at Manchester City.
“What happens in four matches is enough to draw conclusions, especially since matches against Liverpool, Manchester City and Sheffield United may have had other purposes,” Bielsa warns.
“If themes (seven) give you a position on the board, they don’t tell you the trends in one’s games. We’ll know more as the Premier League progresses. “
The same goes for your perfected equipment.
“Progress will measure the season,” he says. Koch has been an uninterrupted presence, Rodrigo gradually increases the minutes he contributes to. Crying and Raphinha haven’t played yet.
“In a league as not easy as the Premier League, everyone will have the opportunity to show their qualities and contribute. Pascal, (Ian) Poveda and (Leif) Davis, who have gone through the under-23s, and Tyler Roberts, who is a young player and the 4 new recruits, will cover the absences of (Gaetano) Berardi, (Adam) Forshaw (long-term injuries), (Barry) Douglas (who joined Blackburn Rovers on a season-long loan on Friday) and (Ben) White (back to Brighton and Hove Albion).
First impressions don’t get you very far with Bielsa, but a smart one can’t hurt.
