[Football] Marcelo Bielsa

el punal · Apr 28, 2019

For those of you who would like Marcelo Bielsa, the Leeds United Argentinian manager, as Albion’s next gaffer, be warned - he speaks no English. To help with the communication process I have identified the following as essential instructions for our players :

1. Avanzer - Get forward.

2. Ataque - Attack.

3. Pon la bola en la bolsa de cebolla - Put the ball in the onion bag

There you go boys and girls. That’s the first team talk done. Hope you approve. :drink:

Are you a mind reader? Where did I say it bothered me, I asked a simple question. It's very un-English, unless you are a politician, to answer a question with a question.

1. I couldn’t be arsed

2. It has nothing to do with Leeds, but is all about us despite him being described as Leeds manager.

3. It was supposed to be a humourous tongue in cheek pisstake post.

4. Lighten up.

Next. :shrug:

You didn't ask me a question.

I didn't answer you.

Would love to see Bielsa here at some stage - hugely entertaining mentalist that he is.

If he came here now, our squad would need a MASSIVE turnover. His game is all about pressing, mobility, energy. He has his players weighed and fitness tested daily, to assure they are sticking to the prescribed regime.

Say adios to Stephens, Pröpper, Jahanbakhsh, Locadia, Groß and Glenn, amongst others.

Thank you. Hopefully my grasp of the English language will improve by the start of next season.

Vamanos muchachos is all we need.

Isn't Bielsa the manager that kept playing Bissouma at CB?

Worked well for them with their strong finish to the season...

Seems to be a pattern with him - his teams tend to steamroll pretty much anything in the first half of a season, then fall apart and end up limping over the line (or not, in the case of DL) at the end.

That’s fine. We will have 40 pts at Xmas and finish on 44 pts.

How would he say We have to stay in game

Quite similar to our season then, all be it 1-0 wins is our steamrolling of teams in this division.
