It will be three months since dismissal of Marcelo Bielsa from Leeds from England but the Yorkshire town team does not lift head. In the match pending on date 33 was thrashed by Chelsea 3-0 at homeat Elland Road Stadium, and sIt is still in the direct relegation zone with only two dates left for the end of the Premier League. He accumulated his third consecutive defeat and no longer depends on himself to stay in the English top flight.
The team led by the American Jesse Marchwho replaced “Loco” in mid-February, lost again and the descent to the Championship is more latent every day. This time, the defeat was against one of the most powerful teams in the world, such as the London team, which left it in the 18th place with 34 units, the same amount as Burnley (17th), which is escaping relegation due to having a better difference in favor of goals (-17) and almost uncountable for Leeds (-38).
Given this scenario, and when there are two games left to find out how the end will be, the former team of Bielsa knows that he no longer depends on his own results and will have to wait for Burnley to lose points against Tottenham, Aston Villa (date 18 pending) and Newcastle. Also, to keep dreaming of chances, you have to pray that the Everton, in 17th place with 36 units, do not add in their three remaining games either. Norwich and Watford, last and next to last, no longer have mathematical options and it only remains to confirm who will accompany them to the second category. The 3 teams from the bottom of the table are relegated.
It will not be easy for him to achieve the dream of continuing in the Premier, since will be measured against two teams that have been making good campaigns and a good present: on Sunday May 10, Leeds will receive the Brighton (9°) by date °37, who fights to get into the Conference League and, on the 22nd of that month, will have to visit the Brentford (13°) in the last match of the tournament.
The match against Chelsea
The Chelsea started winning after three minutes after a great collective play that Mason Mount defined for Londoners. At 23′ of the PT Leeds he was left with one less due to the expulsion of Daniel Jamesone of the reinforcements that Bielsa requested in the mid-season market, for a kick to the Croatian Mateo Kovacic, who had to leave the court due to injury. In the second half, German Thomas Tuchel’s men settled the match, first thanks to a left-footed shot from the American Christian Pulisicand then the third was the work of the Belgian Romelu Lukakuwhich feigned several times and made the players dizzy in the rival area.
