Leeds will celebrate their
100th birthday in October!
PLAYING STYLE
Bielsa’s boys are brilliantly
organised! They make life
seriously tough for their
opponents by closing them
down high up the pitch and,
when they win possession,
their wide men have the
quality to create chances!
MARCELO BIELSA
Manager Bielsa’s had an incredible career
in Argentina, Spain and France, and his
fast-paced, attacking style of footy has
inspired some of the best managers in the
world. The likes of Pep Guardiola, Mauricio
Pochettino and Diego Simeone all ratehim!
PABLO HERNANDEZ
Leeds fans were stunned when Hernandez
was left out of the Championship Team
OfTheYearlastseason,becausehetotally
bossed the league! The tricky winger tore
full-backs apart, bagging 12 goals and 12
assists – and he’ll be key again this season!
HELDER COSTA
Costa scored 15 goals and created another
14 in two Championship campaigns with
Wolves, so signing him on loan is a wicked
deal! The forward could be the difference
makerfortheclub,aftertheymissedout
on promotion via the play-offs last year!
