Bielsa isn't a manager who will win lots of trophies. He does weird and wacky things that often sabotage himself. But he has the balls to try something new and lots of the top managers watch him try things out before they do it. Talk to most spanish or south american coaches and they will all have something to say about his tactics. They may call him crazy, but Bielsa made them think more deeply. Without him, football wouldn't develop as fast as it does.

I first started paying attention to Bielsa after he won against Man Utd with Bilbao in Europa League. I saw the game on Old Trafford and my God I can't remember last time I saw a team press with that level of intensity. It was absolutely ridiculous!

Bielsa got Chile, an average national time until then, to the second place of the south american WC qualifiers, probably the hardest of them all! Quite an achievement! And his teams, when adapted to his coaching, are pure adrenaline! A joy to watch! Totally underrated because he truly deserved to coach one of the biggest teams in the world. At this age probably he wont do that

He certainly isn´t underrated here in Chile. Most people credit him as changing the thinking in the national team , which has been responsible for recent successes.

Great channel. An updated video on Bielsa’s Leeds United is much needed. Took a squad that finished on relegation form to league challengers in one of the most physical leagues in Europe. I’ve never enjoyed watching a championship team so much.

Wonderful video Bielsa is genius

Bielsa is the master of the pressing style. The high intensity press from Bielsa has inspired countless managers like pochetino, Simeone, Guardiola, Sampaoli, etc. Football needs people like Bielsa.

One of the most influential coaches of our era. He alone is the only coach who still receives apologetic letters by his “disciples” for failing to implement his system correctly. He gave the nation of Chile an identity and it came to fruition when they won the two Copa Americas with Sampaoli. And let’s not forget what Bielsa’s Bilbao did to Ferguson’s United in the Europa League. We would not have Guardiola, Pochettino, Sampaoli, etc. without this crazy genius tactician. One of his famous quotes best describes him “We defend by attacking.” He definitely let them “hang” on the pitch.

This guy is underrated

Rumoured with Leeds United! I will be unbelievably happy if this happens.

Who else is here because of his link with Leeds United?

Welcome to Leeds!

FINALLY!! :D Bielsa. You DID listen. After a barrage of requests on almost every single video of yours.

He is rumoured to be taking over the vacant manager position of my club Leeds, can anyone reply who knows a lot about him if he would be a good appointment and if he could get us into the premier league?

I found this channel about a week ago and I'd say I've watched nearly every video. It's exactly what I was looking for. A breakdown of tactics in a smart and easy way. The editing is superb as well. The fact that you haven't over 1 million views per video is depressing. We need to educate even the casual fan. Any chance you could do a breakdown of Roy Keane and his footballing ability and attributes? I've heard enough about his personality and personal life. I watched him religiously as a kid (heavily influenced by my father) but I can't put into context his ability. Please me and my father would be very appreciative. Thank you again for a superb channel 👌👌🐐🐐

Who is watching this in 2020 and blown away how relevant this has been to how he has Leeds team playing, great video 👍

Please do a video on Guy Roux, he coached AJ Auxerre from 1961-2005.

Outstanding video here guys! One of my favorites of all time. I can't get enough of these Tactical videos, they're amazing. And i do think it would be a great idea to keep an eye on Lille this year. They will definitely be interesting for sure.

That's surprisingly the exact two systems Ole Gunnar Solskjaer uses with Man United at the moment..

Who's here after Leeds has been promoted to English Premier League?

Finally my absolute managing idol Bielsa

As a Marseille fan i loved his style to play. You went to a match whitout to know what's coming.What a coach

Thanks for the content, great Bielsa videos, very smart and detailed. Greetings from Chile.

Terrific video, the best one yet!

I love this channel because it emphasizes on football all around not like other channels in which barca madrid bayern is being highlighted and we know about them but you guys are amazing you show the tactics and organization of football from low level to high level keep up the amazing work🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝

Marcelo Bielsa left an unforgettable legacy in chilean football. he changed the way us chileans see this sport. there is and after and before Bielsa in chilean football history. We salute you Don Marcelo.

Thanks for enlightening me on Bielsa's core tactics! Cool stuff! 👍😎

I love these systems, and in particular the use of players 'out of position'. In much of football, this is frowned upon, but in the right system, it can be a stroke of genius. I love the 'whirlwind' attack that is created when you set a system up like this. The philosophy seems to not be 'this is your role, so you must stick to it', but rather to say, 'this is your area of the pitch, so attack it.' This creates unpredictability because the play is not defined by the roles of players (and therefore you can predict what they are trying to do), but by where they are likely to operate, which isn't as useful to the opposition as knowing what they are likely to do. This further enhanced by having players 'out of position', so where you might expect a certain kind of player, you in fact get another type.

And now he’s Leeds manager, I’m looking forward to this

Great video !

Absolutely loved it! I was the only one requesting for it for almost 2 months now. Finally it's here. Yes, a small tactical video won't do justice to him. So please, I am waiting for a Whiteboard Extra - Podcast dedicated to this. Please explain the "Enganche" role in detail. Also how does he get to have 7 players to defend when they don't have the possession and 6 players in attack while they DO have the ball. Also, why isn't he as successful as many other coaches who actually took inspiration from his ideas and philosophy? What's missing? Thanks, in advance.

Do an FM17 tactics of Marcelo Bielsa

Finally, been waiting for this for ages !!!

Great work in video

Excellent as always! I am a fan.

Loving the videos! Can you do a video on the Eriksen Alli partnership by chance?

His Chile side were a delight to watch. The faces on my colleagues when I said they would beat England in a friendly a couple of years ago was priceless. If memory serves it was his Argentina side which scored that wonder goal a few years back, passing the ball around the pitch for ages before pouncing. Always been fascinated with his teams, shame he doesn't have the silverware to back it up.

This is basically what conte used to storm the premier league last season, with a few adjustments for the physicality of the English game

Excellent video, Bielsa is a great manager

I love this video and this coach. Thanks

Lovely piece ur content and style are unique and very much appreciated 👍🏽 keep it up

Thanks for upload this video 🎉aparte q aprendo about futbol im learning my english vocabulary thanks a lot 🎉🎉

Ever since these tactic videos started I think this is the one we've all been waiting for...

Thank you, from an excited Leeds United supporter living in total football land (Holland)

Can agree more to the conclusion of the videos. Thx for fulfilling my wish ;)

Voted coach of the decade:- Rinus Michels tactics used at Ajax, Barcelona and the Dutch National team please. Keep up the good work more tactical videos please 😀👍⚽️

It's funny how LVG, Bielsa, Klopp and Guardiola all have this fundamental style that the team can surpass the individual to the extreme. Everyone has their roles, movements and instructions all pre planned, and very little is off the cuff. The extreme other end is Arsene Wenger where you feel nothing is organised or planned. The very basics and that about it.

Bet you’ve got a lot of views on this hahahahah What an impact he has had on Leeds

OMG HOW PROUD I'M TO HAVE HIM IN SUPERLEEDS. MOT ALAW BIELSA BALL💙💛. WE'RE GOING UP

For history's sake:Bielsa is absolutely bossing it in the Champipnship

Great explanation!

Took Athletic Bilbau to a Europa League final that's mad respect

Welcome to Premier League boss. As a United fan I am looking forward to some spicy football between us and Leeds

Such satisfaction animation 💦 Good Job uMaxitfootball

Do one on Inter's Spaletti please? Spaletti turned Pioli's abysmal team into a strong contender. and Spaletti did some amazing spending in Valero, Skriniar, adn Vecino. losing only to Nurnberg and actually beat Bayern Muunich and Chelsea during preseason

As an Argentine, I must say this video is 100% true. Is exactly what he is. One of the main Bielsas flaw maybe obstination with his ideas. He s not open to negotiate his understanding of football. That brought him more than one headache.

Finally!

I think any football purist would love "el loco" because he brings that much needed eccentricity to his game with a method, which if implemented (in a perfect world) would astound every football fan. I guess, the only downside to that is, there IS NO "perfect world" :)

THANK YOU FOR THIS

I had the pleasure to watch Argentinas WC-qualifiers to the 2002 world cup. Marcelo Bielsa was the coach and Argentina probably had its best team in the post-Maradona era. The way they played was amazing. I have never seen anything like it. First of all, just so that people understand, the player with the ball is the only one standing still, while all the other players (all of them) run forward, essentially becoming a passing alternative forward. And if that was not enough, the player with the ball usually only made one or two touches before passing the ball forward. This in of itself created a firce speed on theire side. And the Argentina stars handled it very well. Dominating in the qualifiers to the WC. The problem happende however at the world cup itself. In South America Argentina usually met teams that would usually attack. But what happens when you meet a European team fully based on defense? You suddenly run into problems. And then and there, Argentina might have played well, but got the worst result in a WC for decades. Not even going passed the Group stage. Tragic really.

We still love him in Chile, one of a kind.

I watched his Leeds squad play in Jan 2020.whoa, The most unappreciated Coach of this modern era.

Welcome to Leeds, MOT

you guys should make a more in depth Analysis of his Coaching style, He is an absolute Genius!

The most successful tactics I've ever seen boil down to, when you've got the ball find a space, when they've got the ball mark tight.

If ur gonna do bielsas 3-3-1-3, u cant forget the cruyff/ van gaal ajax 3-3-1-3...very different yet pretty interesting as well

great coach...please do a video on Christian Gourcuff that has created a style in Lorient...

Very interesting approach, he seems like to exploit the width of the pitch and make his players work hard by trying to shut down the opposition's attacking flow...

Let's hope these tactics will help lift Leeds United out of the Championship this year.

i used the 3-3-1-3 formation in fifa 09, but instead of wing-backs the midfielders played between wing-back and cm position and the cdm played almost as a libero, so when i attacked i had a sort of 3-2-1-4 formation and when defending it was 5-1-3-1

Welcome to Leeds! MOT

Now do a Paul hockaday tactics video using salt and pepper shakers

Could you do one for Ernesto Valverde 's Bilbao , had interesting tactics and movements last season. Thanks for this one on Bielsa.

very knowledgeable for beginners like me as I'm from very centre point of india nd there is no football in my town but I'm trying to promote it here. so plz provide articles with subtile below the screen. plz explain about how different formation does work in different situation such as in both attack nd defence that how these formation takes shape according to situations. thank u Umaxit staff for providing solid knowledge.

Coming to Leeds

Can mexico now more than ever imagine more "cosas chingonas" as he is supposed to take over el tri? Am low key excited

Great explanation, but you should've used the chilean national team as the example, as that was the one team that actually played his tactics to full potential. He needs players with extremely high stamina and resistance and he found that in the likes of Vidal, Alexis, Medel, Isla, etc. who grew within his system.

Please more on Bielsa!!!!

Eventually after months of wait, Thanks. If possible 'Total football' of Dutch or Ajax would be interesting.

Lille will come around I watch all of their games so far this season.... the players are still adapting to the system, they played brillantly in their second game, Defensively they seem to struggle a bit, But i'm confident Bielsa will have them sorted and they will probably finish top 6 this season... In Luiz Araujo, Benzia, El Ghazi, De Preville, and Ezequiel Ponce they have a very young and entertaining attack, on there day these guys will play some of the most entertaining attacking football in Ligue 1

Dude how do you do it. I have a 2G high speed data not a 4G data and I can still watch your videos in 480p that's insane cause I can't normally do that with other videos. Please tell me your secret and I will subscribe :)

Would be interesting to see him at a team such as Celtic or Olympiakos who win their league easily - maybe he would ease off or rotate his squad more for the easier games and still have a fit 1st XI at April/May...

if you want to see how great Bielsa is, watch Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona in 2011. This was probably the match where both managers were more influential than the players on the pitch

Come to lufc!!! 🤞🤞🤞

How have you not done a video on Akinfenwa and folks with similar odd traits.

His tactics are very interesting.

Wales should play with a 3-3-1-3 formation, Bale as the enganche, Vokes, Robson Kanu, and Ramsey up top, Neil Taylor, Chris gunther as the wing backs, Joe Allen maybe as the screening midfielder, James Chester, Ashley Williams, and Davies as centre backs

Legendado em Português, perfeito! Obrigado!

Can you do a video on Louis van Gaal from his time at barca or ajax please??!

Do a new series of tactics for every national team who qualifies for the World Cup next year

If you don't have it in the works already, how about a Tactics Explained for Zinedine Zidane? He's done an incredible job since taking over for Rafa and he's showing Florentino Perez that Madrid don't need Galacticos signings every year to win the Champions League. You just need to define player roles and manage.

do eddie howe next

Bielsa's tactic was genius since he could destroy if the opposite team played a 4-4-2 . But I think it's kinda vulnerable . First of all against a 4-5-1 , the opposing team will have an attacking disadvantage , but they could block the heart of the system , the central midfielder . And then his tactic is also kinda vulnerable against a 4-3-3 .

Should do a tactics explained on Roy Hodgson just for laughs.

You should do one about athletic Bilbao, really interesting club

where's the part when he puts Thiago Maia as a left back without knowledge of this position and ends up with red card at 30 min of the first half?. Genius at work baby

Sampaoli next please!

Do a team that is actually doing well in Ligue 1 so far this season, Stéphane Moulin and Angers

would you mind taking a look at wilmer cabrera tactics at houston dynamo?
