Marcelo Bielsa: The Evangelist of Football
Marcelo Bielsa, often dubbed “El Loco”, continues to captivate not only the football world but also figures from other sporting disciplines. His unorthodox methods, intense passion, and deep tactical knowledge have drawn both fierce admirers and sharp critics.
In an insightful feature by La Provence, various athletes and coaches shared their thoughts on the Bielsa phenomenon. Among them, Daniel Constantini, former coach of the French national handball team, offered one of the most striking comparisons:
“I’m going to make an inflated comparison, but he reminds me of those evangelists of the Middle Ages who arrived somewhere and managed to convince everyone. He makes a positive impression, because he indisputably puts the players in the right position.”
