Can we expect Leeds.......

Post by 1964white »

to play similar to Uruguay under Bielsa ?

Every player working for each other.
Defensively very sound.
Press hard & keep their shape
Play with two excellent wing-backs. Caceres reminds me of Ayling, naturally a better player of course.
Two world class centre-backs.
One quality defensive midfielder.
Two world class strikers with one dropping back into midfield when required.

All we require now is some cloned Uruguayans :-D

Wouldn't mind if we did mate though I'd much prefer if we play like the Spanish . The wonder of it all? eh!
Uruquay were terrific tonight in fairness.

I like Uruguay way better than Spain for overall effectiveness. They don't try to play Tiki-taka all the time, just when they need to, and they have proper defenders too. They combine the best bits of all the systems to make themselves effective - I think they have a good chance of winning the 2018 World Cup and, if England can't, I hope Uruguay do, although Belgium might have something to say about that. Wouldn't that be a cracking final, Belgium vs Uruguay? I don't know whether it's possible, given the way the path to the final is structured.

Correct Norm the Uruguayan's play a mixture of styles. I love their two attacking full-backs & the two goals scored on the break from Cavani were sublime

Would love to see Leeds play like the South Americans :-D

A proper team Leon - they must have been a few years building their team - you don't get as good as they are overnight.
What a refreshing change from Spain and Brylcreem-ugal. What is it Nick says? self-licking. :rol:

Physically Uraguay are strong something last season's Leeds squad lacked totally, hopefully Bielsa will toughen us up
