Leeds United stadium at Elland Road has been their home field since the flub foundation in 1919. Pitch size is average size, the most common size 105x68m (115x74yd). I got interested in watching more Leeds United and overall coaching philosophy of Marcelo Bielsa after I watched an aspiring Amazon’s “Take Us Home: Leeds United” documentary in 2019.

Check out the grades and final FICAZ INDEX score bellow.

Camera Angle and Zoom

Watching high tempo Leeds offensive game under Marcelo Bielsa is a pure pleasure but unfortunately not from Elland Road 😰. I’ve even made video to show you how bad is TV coverage and how bad is TV experience from Elland Road. Check the video bellow. Tell us what you think.

Extra points

HREN bonus is at lowest value possible. Just watch the video above and you’ll see imminently why.  And 2nd extra bad thing: when you watch the game from Elland road next time take watch closely when a corner kick is from far side. Tell us did you notice something very, very bad in TV coverage from that part of the field.

Leeds United: Please FIX the TV camera angle. Just put it in higher position and train your cameraman to not ZOOM in so much.

It is a football game not bird watching.

Calculation:

Extra points (max. 16 points) = -4 points
