Pitch Publishing Ltd Marcelo Bielsa: The Foundation of Success at Leeds United

This is a very interesting book about Bielsa's first season at Leeds United .It is written by his interpreter Salim Lamrani who although he enjoys the game hasn't got a football background he is an Academic. It shows the length Bielsa goes to in bringing his player to peak fitness and performance. It also includes some surprises such as how the staff formed a reading group to discuss literature and discussion as a bonding tool for the players. There is then a summary of the Season and how results affect the club. All in all anenjoyable and thought provoking read.

I waited impatiently after pre-ordering and read it in a day. A beautifully written story about a wonderful human being who turned a group of players into the great entertainers, and despite a few knocks along the way, succeeded in getting the Mighty Leeds back to the promised land, and making many into better human beings at the same time. Thank you Salim for all the insight, and Gracias Marcelo Bielsa for coming to Leeds.

What a fantastic book revisiting a rollercoaster of a season from the highs to the lows. A great inside insight into everything that happened during the 2018-19 season and then rounded off with being crowned victorious. A must read for any football fan whether your leeds through and through or not.

A great view to an outsider of the methods and processes used during the first season under Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds United.The book begins to outline the disciplines and respect that was expected for any club associate, and it shines a fascinating insight into the kind of man Salim is a person. Reading of his humbleness and values as a human, it makes you want to reach out to him and become a friend. What a truly honest person he is.A very good read and well-structured book. Well done!

Already half way through, great insight into the behind the scenes of the football world according to Marcelo.
