Klopp vs. Bielsa. The Premier League starts the new season with a real coach! It is the meeting of two exceptional soccer teachers. On the one hand, «Kloppo», the human receiver, «The Normal One», the master creator of Dortmund and Liverpool, the tactical fox. On the other hand, Bielsa, whose tenacity in his work earned him the nickname “El Loco”, the madman. His football knowledge impressed many of his teammates, for Pep Guardiola, for example, the Argentine is “the best coach in the world.” For Mauricio Pochettino he is “a genius”.
Klopp vs. Bielsa. It is also a duel between two coaches who go down unconventional paths to achieve success. There is the story of Bielsa, who was spied on his opponent in training before a championship game against Derby County, but had to endure some criticism, including from Klopp (“Something like that shouldn’t be …”).
Meanwhile, the latter usually causes a stir with a little psychological trick. How? Standing on the center line during warm-up and watching the opposing players. Brighton forward Glenn Murray says on the ‘Talksport’ podcast: ‘He does it before every game. It really gets under your skin. The first time it knocks you out because you think, ‘What is he doing?’ He doesn’t even look at his own team once. It makes all the opponents ponder, doesn’t it? “
Klopp vs. Bielsa. Champion Liverpool vs. Leeds United promoted. The roles are clearly assigned in the square. But Bielsa pursues a philosophy that does not change even against high-level rivals: putting behind is not an option for his team: “Whoever sacrifices good football for the result must be tortured.” (mpe)
