The fanaticism for Marcelo Bielsa grows without limits and stimulates the creativity of urban artists who have decided to brighten the streets of Yokrshire with picturesque murals in honor of the Argentine coach who has brought Leeds United back to be the new tenant of the Premier League.

 

 

One of the most picturesque is the one created by Nicolas Dixon and Andy McVeigh, two Leed Unites fans who were inspired by one of the most impressive monuments in South America, such as the 'Christ the Redeemer' in Brazil, to merge it with the image of Marcelo Bielsa. The result has been a colorful work with which more than one has started taking selfies.

This mural has taken a week of intense work for the artists who had to rent a crane in order to give detail to the highest areas. "We hope it will become a milestone for Leeds fans to come and take photos here before games," said the Leeds United fans.

"When the 16 years of pain came to an end thanks to our savior Marcelo Beilsa, we decided to do it and take the opportunity to combine my two passions, art and soccer," Nicolas Dixon told the Yorkshire Post.

 

 

The painting is a tribute to the Latin nature of the Leeds United coach, as a phrase linked to this campaign “marching together” was written and painted in Spanish. Spanish was also used to date the year of the historic feat.
