Bielsa showing Derby clips

He's showing all of the attacking play from Derby vs Bristol City at Pride Park.

"There is nearly 40 minutes of it... when you see that you see what is the path for the opponent to attack. If you do the same thing about chances conceded by Derby you can see the defensive weaknesses that they have."

Bielsa says his staff cut down this video into eight minutes for players to look at and analyse.

Journalists probably texting home now to say they think they'll be late.....

Apparently he sent a Snakes and Ladders game to Lampard, who thought it was a tactical diagram of how Leeds play.

Our great periods in football history have been accompanied by an analytical manager / coach. Let's hope that Bielsa reaches the same heights.

He is just telling the league how to beat Derby isn't he?

Remember when we were in talks for him to become manager and it seemed to be taking for ever and it was said that he hadent signed because he wanted to do his home work on the club for and find out about them.

At the time I just assumed the reason he hadent signed is because the club were not able to get him to sign a deal.

Looks like he was actually doing his home work

And not does he put time into it

It's the most imaginative and creative way of giving Frank Lampard the finger for calling the cops and making a big deal out of a minor incident!

And boy does he put his time into it*

Bielsa continued

"The idea is to give the players a look at the opponent in a short space of time."

"We know that over 90 minutes Derby County can use four systems due to all of this analysis. We can see all the players and where they played."

He's showing another spreadsheet... this time with where each player of Derby can play on the pitch listed in a formation.

This is brilliant in every single way.

Imagine not having Bielsa as your manager. I pity every other club.

How is it possible that he went into the press conference and made every single fan love him more than we already do...

posted on 16/1/19

He's a genius! The details in his analyses are incredible. How the fook have we been able to get him?

Yeah the bloke just said before the advert with a jumped up tone 'Bielsa has been spying on every team, and we've only just found out about it'

The press conference hasn't been shown on SSN yet, still says coming up.

AFAIK that was basically public knowledge since the Derby game. The important thing is that he doesn't do it again.

This is quality. Can see why Guardiol, Porch, Mendy et al love him so much.

Gary Lineker "I sort of love Bielsa"
We all do Gary.

Genius, yes, but I cannot see how he can stay on as coach. From here on in, the media are going to destroy him.

posted on 16/1/19

Sadly, I can’t see the Football League viewing this press conference with as much enthusiasm as we are!

Lampard got served in the most machiavellian dog whistle way here.

If I was a Derby fan I'd be fuming lol

The guy is truly a genius.
