Funniest thing about the Bielsa discourse is the idea that well yes of *course* any manager could get their team to play like Leeds, they just wisely and sensibly choose not to. But go on. Please. Just for one game. Turn it on and show us that forbidden fruit. Because anyone can!
And the idea it’s not pragmatic. Well every Leeds youth team is coached to play exactly the same way. So when young or reserve players get into the first team, they’re good to go. That’s pragmatic baby! Club want to expand ER by 15,000 seats so everyone can come watch. Pragmatic!
You might not think he walks in water, but this inability to judge his team, what they do and why in the broader context of REALITY is so weird. So many furious armchair tinkermen shouting like they’ve just watched him lose at ProEvo because he wouldn’t take their advice.
