Video analysis: Leeds United - Marcelo Bielsa
Check out part of my study of a specific moment of play from Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United: thirteen clips showing how the team builds attacking play in a high block, edited with Play (Metrica Sports).
The analysis
This collection aims to identify points of interest from the team above, to use as input for my own game model.
Each clip shows a combination of recurring actions, such as one-touch passes, support in numerical overloads, and cut-backs, identified across several matches from the 18-19 and 19-20 seasons, and edited with Play (Metrica Sports).
