da pixbet： The international break does not always come at a great point in the season, however, the current one may not have come at a better time for Leeds United and Marcelo Bielsa.
da imperador bet： There is no doubt that the atmosphere at Elland Road will have become extremely tense following their defeat to their Yorkshire promotion rivals Sheffield United last weekend, which could, in turn, have a negative effect on the players.
With the way Bielsa sets his team up to play and with what he demands from his men, fatigue is likely to have set into a number of his squad, meaning that the long season may have taken its toll on some of his key individuals.
And, with just a few more games left in the Championship campaign, the break in competitive action could have come at the right time.
It will mean that Bielsa will have the extra time to get his team prepared for their match against Millwall next weekend, which has always proved to be a rather feisty affair and one that brings its own pressures, regardless of the fact that the Whites are in a good position to head back into the Premier League.
The break in play will also allow the side to be able to limit the effect that Pontus Jansson’s absence will have on their quest to play top-flight football next season as the Sweden international could just miss the game against the South London outfit with the three weeks he is expected to be on the sidelines for.
If he had to miss any more of their matches, there would be a real concern about their ability to bounce back from the defeat last weekend to Sheffield United as he has been an influential figure for the club and Bielsa.
There is no doubt that the Argentine will be working them hard on the training ground over the international period, however, the fact that they have a break from action should help them recharge their batteries and put them in an excellent place to try and regain an automatic promotion spot in their final few matches of the season.
Leeds fans, do you think the international break came at the right time? Or would you have wanted to have played Millwall as quickly as possible following the defeat? Share your thoughts with us below by joining in with the discussion.
