Perhaps one of the most unsurprising stats of the 20/21 Premier League season, Leeds United are the team that run further, faster and harder than any other side in the league.
With the way that Marcelo Bielsa demands his players to play and continue to press, it is hardly a surprise, but nonetheless, it is rather still incredibly and impressive.
The Whites, who have enjoyed a solid first season back in England’s top-flight after a 16-year hiatus, have been able to make more sprints than anyone else in the league, which has made them a solid choice for those that look for the best odds when making a football bet using allvideoslots for all of their football betting needs.
Leeds have managed to impress many with their continued work rate, as they have a “never die” attitude to the way they play, which has provided football fans with plenty of entertainment over the course of the season, as well. They continue to press the ball regardless of wherever it is on the pitch and they work hard to make sure they get it back as soon as possible, thus making life for those in defence a little uncomfortable at times.
Stats have since been released regarding the work that Bielsa’s players do on the pitch, which highlights what they do and it is no surprise to see them at the top of the list when it comes down to making the most sprints and the most high-intensity runs per game.
With the data provided by Skill Corner via The Athletic, Bielsa’s side are way out in front and only Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea come close, but there is still some distance between them.
Naturally, Bielsa-led teams are known throughout the world for their ability under the Argentine, as he continues to adopt rather unconventional training methods that clearly have an impact.
Of course, he is known for ‘Murderball’ at Leeds United, whilst during his time at Athletic Bilbao, he also adopted some incredibly brutal training exercises and sessions, but his players will have found them beneficial in the long run.
Although many might consider him crazy – as his ‘El Loco’ nickname suggests – there is a method to the madness as he gets results and that is evident with what Leeds have been able to achieve this season.
Whilst his future at Elland Road remains doubtful, but only because he is yet to commit himself to another season in Yorkshire, the Whites are better for it, as are Premier League fans as his brand of football is one of the most entertaining and appealing to watch.
