I speak Spanish and let me tell you people, the translator can’t translate the passion this loco has, the way he say everything is so unique as he is

[johnquinn]

This guy is a special human being with very special human qualities ...I wish him every success going forward

[moussoschreiber]

Bielsa said: "You know a lot of things about Barcelona that I don't" the translator exaggerated the quote of Pep.

[johnkennedyekene]

His nickname is El Loco, every top manager names him as their inspiration, actually, he’s been unlucky with big teams, he’s always been hired to coach small teams, and he always transferred these small teams into beast teams. Secondly he is a no nonsense man, he signed for SS Lazio in the Italian league and resigned 5 hrs later simply because the club president questioned his authority and limits, and he showed him what he is capable of doing.
As a Nigerian, watching the World Cup in 2002 in japan/Korea, the man organized one of the strongest and baddest Argentine squad of all time.
He’s my mentor, my idol, I am learning how to replicate his style philosophy and systems in my coaching career.
The man is too much!!!. Simply put !!!

Who is here after Leeds promoted in Premier League after 16 years?🏅🏆🎖️🥇🎖️🏆

[PANAGOLpa]

I can’t wait to see him coaching LEEDS UNITED against Liverpool, ManCity, Tottenham, ManUtd. I’ll be sticked to the tv for the whole season to see how Marcelo’s experiment performs... amazing Premier League season awaits!

[simonforrest]

This guy is a gem..Very, very astute and a tactical genius..And like most geniuses slightly eccentric (to say the least)..It'll be a pleasure to have him in the Prem..YNWA

[kjellesperas]

And this man chose my dear LEEDS UNITED. There is a God up there.
Thank you Bielsa, You will live forever in our LEEDS hearts.
MOT ALAW NORWAY.
Ps we're up💙💛

The Great Marcelo Bielsa! One of the best coaches in the world, This man is a genius!

[seven]

English people have so much to learn about football from this man and Pep.

[jesusr-grossmuller]

This guy lives and breaths football, in my personal opinion he is the best coach but also as a person very knowledgeable about the game

[luckyluke]

I’m crying every time I watch video of and about Prof. Marcelo Bielsa. He is a Legend.

[anthonygumbs]

His legend grows, this is the guy Pep tracked down and spent hours in his house, asking him questions before he became a manger.

Glad he's still at Leeds, he deserves the recognition. El loco a football icon.

[akram]

This guy is a genius but he's wasting his time to make excuses to some ignorant people...

[JMI]

En resumen, el futbol es futbol. Y por mucho que planifiques y estudies al rival no deja de ser un juego con tantisimas variantes que es indescifrable. Por eso amamos tanto este deporte.

[SeahorsesJay]

This guy has just done everybody. Pay attention Lampard because this is a free masterclass in how to manage a football team.
Look at the attention to detail. This is a man DEVOTED to his job.
He's right. He didn't even gain that much of an advantage from spying, because of the sheer amount of information already collected. So why did he do it? Because he could. What law was there to stop him? Non. You can't fine him, or Leeds. You can only amend the rules.

[facundosislian]

That statement, little of the video, is a bad translation, what he actually said is: "You know a lot of things about Barcelona that I don't know"

[vinzw]

This man is a professor of football and deserves RESPECT.
Leeds is so fortunate to have him.
If things don’t work out later on, I am sure clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd will have use for this man’s genius.

[isakpetterssonmusic]

I’m a Man United fan but i want Bielsa to take Leeds back to the Premier League. Big club with massive history that deserves to be in the Premier League. I am a big fan of Bielsa.

[oceanroad]

this man is humble and a character, not many in the game like him these days.
