da bwin: Having Marcelo Bielsa as your team’s manager is about so much more than getting results on the pitch.
da blaze casino: The Argentine has previously been labelled as the best coach in the world for a reason, and that’s because he’s so good at improving players.

Bielsa has worked with players like Ander Herrera and Aymeric Laporte before they were stars while Gabriel Batistuta even claimed he was taught how to truly respect his teammates.
At Leeds, numerous players have improved drastically under the Argentine with the likes of Kalvin Phillips and Liam Cooper making the Championship Team of the Year for the first time in their careers under the tutelage of the Argentine.
Leeds have certainly benefitted from the 64-year-old improving their players, but their current transfer policy has meant that they can’t feel the full effect of Bielsa’s brilliance.
It’s no secret that United have had to rely on loans since the former Chile boss’ appointment, and that’s a dangerous game to play when you’ve got a manager who is so good at improving players.
Ben White is the perfect example of this.
Before he signed for Leeds in the summer, hardly anyone knew who he was. The centre-back had never played above League One level, and many supporters outright said that they don’t want him at the club.
Fast-forward a few months and he’s being linked with the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs while also being named as the best young player in the division in Sky Sports’ recent poll.
Unfortunately, if White is to move to one of these massive clubs, Leeds will not reap any benefits as Brighton would receive the windfall.
Leeds must get out of this habit sooner rather than later or else they’ll continue to miss out on the financial boost that Bielsa’s coaching can bring.
They must invest in young players of their own, rather than loaning them.
In other news, one Leeds man’s recent performance proved they still need to strengthen one key area.
