Av dem som kjenner Marcelo Bielsa aller best, er kanskje broren. Tidligere utenriksminister i Argentina, nå ambassadør i Chile.
Der er han intervjuet. Interessant.
Om han blir i Leeds, jeg tror vi har svaret i intervjuet.
Daniel Chapman har kjørt det gjennom et oversettelsesprogram...
Still on Bielsism, Marcelo's brother Rafael is currently Argentina's ambassador to Chile, and has given an interview with TyC Sports, reported here via Google Translate in Olé.
Before the Swansea game, he says,
"I woke up at seven in the morning, I couldn't sleep. Soccer and the issue of brotherhood are a diabolical combination. When the game ended for my brother's Leeds, they had to take me out with oxygen."
He's not the only one in Chile feeling this way:
"They live it with great expectation, if there is any sector from Santiago that does not agree with Marcelo's style of play, I do not know it. As we are in quarantine, I cannot even show my nose, but there is a real affection for Marcelo and Leeds. They continue [follow?] more than in Argentina."
A question about whether Bielsa will stay with Leeds next season veers off into Bamford's goalscoring:
"Long time no talk to him [Marcelo], not a word I said, and I think the question is the other way around: 'How can you avoid renewing if you are champion?' I'm going to give a forecast: on Thursday Bamford turns his head. He will have his reward for the two goals he missed below the goal in the last two games. It seems to me that fate will reward him."
But back to staying at Leeds. Rafael says the 'predictable' patterns of his brother's life suggest he'll want to stay:
"If you follow up there are many more predictable than unpredictable features. He likes identity. In his teams he takes into account the facilities to carry out the project. I have not visited him [in Leeds], but I read that in the city he is a phenomenon, rock star style. He is loved, he is at a club that complies [with his instructions], and he manages that locker room. It is always better in the Premier League to arrive with a team in which you know all the players. It will be difficult for him to say no."
