Leeds United, the team that is grabbing the hearts of football players: Fall and Rise

One thing is certain: Leeds' supporters are willing to follow the club everywhere, despite having spent little time in the low English football divisions.

On the other hand, their rivalry with other clubs and a problematic reputation on the ground have eventually made Leeds the most hated club in England, writes Periscope.

For financial reasons, the strongest team in England, and with the most intense fans, left Premier League in 2004, following former owner's financial mismanagement.

This club was enjoying great successes and was expected to seriously challenge Manchester United and Arsenal in the race for dominance in English and European football.

In the 2000s it reached the semifinals of the Champions League and the semifinals of the Cup U n EFA, with a new and ambitious team that was rightly expected to invade Europe.

The end of a golden generation of football players like Alan Smith, Rio Ferdinand, Mark Viduka and Harry Kewell, among many others, was painful and tragic.

From 2004 onward, Leeds has participated in the second and even third categories of English football.

The pain of fans of this team claiming European domination did not have to be greater. At once, though, love too. Fans did not abandon the Great Leeds in either the second or third category. Even when he despairs year after year.

And so, it came in 2018. When nothing was left untested, it had to be proved and that there was no magic left in madness. And for the coach, the one known as the crazy “”, Marcelo Bielsa.

Bielsa was just a legend for football fanatics, but he remained relatively unknown to football at Mainstream. He was seen as a genius by Pep Guardilla, and he was spoken of in admiration by other world's finest trainers like Pochetino and Simeone.

The problem was that the crazy “” had had problems with his tough character. You enjoy great success with Bilbao. He was known for his ongoing bombings.

With Lazie, his career lasted only one day.

Everything seemed to lead to another desperate attempt by Leeds to restore the old magic.

POor, everything seemed wrong. Bielsa happily fell in love in the town of Leeds, in the team's passionate fans, in the modest life of this large industrial city, and every act of his training was immediately worshipped by the whole city, all of England.

Never before was a team more begging across England and Europe than Leeds.

He forced team players to collect trash just to feel what the fans who paid tickets to see.

And, Leeds developed one of the most strange and beautiful soccer styles in all of Europe. This team even started playing crazy. He could have a 3-to-0 advantage, he could have a score equal to 3-3 and still win.

Leeds's matches were stories of magic reality, a voice produced in Latin and Central America by writers like Gabriel Garcia Marquez of Carlos Fuentes.

These accounts contained other internal confessions. The team didn't play to win. But to be challenged.

The first season Leeds managed to be first place the entire season, but ended only in play-off in third place.

Bielsa made a stir when he ordered the team to forgive an Aston Willlas goal, except that the latter complained that the goal scored by Leeds had been irregular.

Ironically, Villa ended up at Premier League, Leeds No.

But magic could not be more beautiful and thrilling than it was in the second season.

Leeds finished first on the board, champion, and will already be at Premier League.

“Winter has come”, “Determin came” for Premier League's large teams. Already, team comfort like Liverpool, Man. City, Chelsea and Man. United

We remember that during their lifetime, Leeds has won three titles of the English League, an FA Cup and a League Cup. /Periscope.
