Moving on from Marcelo: how Jesse Marsch got Leeds rocking again
August 25, 2022

Mark Chapman is joined by The Athletic's Leeds correspondent Phil Hay and tactics writer Ahmed Walid for an in-depth look at how Jesse Marsch's has put his stamp on things at Elland Road, and how that has helped the club and its fans to move on from the Marcelo Bielsa era.
We look at his soft approach off the pitch, his aggressive tactics on the pitch, his renewed focus on set-pieces and the abandonment of the high-risk man-to-man system used by Bielsa.
There's also a look at how the new signings like Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams are the perfect fits for Marsch's system and how he's reinvigorated the likes of the Premier League's leading goalscorer Rodrigo.
