In tenth position is Manchester City, who missed two new points, after drawing 1-1 with Leeds this Saturday, in a match in which the duel on the benches between Spanish Pep Guardiola and Argentine Marcelo Bielsa ended with tables.
“He is probably the person I most admire in the world of football both as a coach and as a person,” Guardiola said in the preview. The Spanish coach has never hidden the influence that the Argentine has had on his way of understanding football.
“He is the most authentic coach in terms of how he leads his teams. He is unique. Nobody can imitate him, it is impossible,” he stressed.

And what better way than to show your admiration for the Argentine coach than by taking care of every single detail of the tactical approach to stifle the ball out of Leeds, the differential element of Bielsa’s team. from Raheem Sterling, who made it 0-1 with great individual action.
But this Leeds has little or nothing to do with any other recently promoted, as he made clear this Saturday, and little by little he was removing the corset in which Guardiola’s had cloistered him. In fact, he had a couple of good chances in the final stretch of the first half to equalize the contest that did not end in a goal due to the good performance of City’s Brazilian goalkeeper, Ederson.
A lack of success that Bielsa solved with the entry of Ian Carlo Poveda, of Colombian parents, and Rodrigo Moreno.
The Spanish forward, who in his first intervention sent the ball to the crossbar, equalized the game (1-1) in the 59th minute by taking advantage of an error by Ederson in a corner kick. A failure from which the Brazilian goalkeeper redeemed himself eleven minutes later by deflecting a header from Rodrigo to the crossbar that seemed destined for a goal.
An action that gave way to a constant coming and going from one area to another, which neither Leeds nor Manchester City knew how to take advantage of to prevent the 1-1 final, which allowed Marcelo Bielsa’s men to climb to fifth place in the classification.
