Leeds United forward Sam Greenwood has stated that he feels Jesse Marsch’s tactics suits his style of play more so than Marcelo Bielsa. Greenwood has come off the bench to make impressive cameo appearances in two of the last three matches, registering an assist in both of them.
Following his very impactful performance in the win at Watford on Saturday, Marsch claimed that out of anyone in the squad, Greenwood has made the most seamless transition to his tactics. This has been reflected in him receiving more opportunities in the first team.
Under Bielsa, Leeds operated with a man-to-man marking system when out of possession, meaning players were handed the specific duty of pressing one player. However, under Marsch, Leeds instead use a more zonal style of play, meaning that they instead use specific trigger points to initiate a press.
