I thought Izzy Brown had got up to come on and tore his hamstring as he was
taking his tracky bottoms off.

My first thought at the weekend when they said someone on the Leeds bench was
taken ill, was that it would be Leeds for Bielsa to have a pitch side heart
attack.

Mate, I have his prezzers carved upon my heart! I know our romance won't last
but I'm going 100% while it does.

under the impression some listers don't already read some of Bielsa's wonderful
words.
Today I loved:
a) Acknowledging the drop in form but vehement support for a lad who's been a
stalwart for us:
For me Bill Ayling is a great player. He is a complete player. When I say
complete I mean that he can manage all aspects of the game.
He can defend as a full-back, as he can defend as a centre-back. He has an
aerial game that is not very common for players who play as full-backs. And if
we divide the pitch in three segments, taking into account the right hand side
of the pitch, he defends well, he is very well in playing out, he takes risks
when we have to organise and when we have to use the ball and the only thing
that decreased a little bit is his offensive impact.
...The only thing I can tell about Bill Ayling, that he contribute a little
less in attack and usually he was getting a grade of more than seven points,
now it’s more than six points. [*apparently MB &co rate them all out of 10
after each game]*
But for me he’s a very important player for the team. He is a player that is
an example for his team-mates, for the public, for the fans and in football you
have very few players that don’t have ups and downs...
Maybe I’m not objective. Because I have a very special respect for him, for
what he gives to the team. Because he always assumes and takes risks. And
because he’s influenced for this feature that I admire a lot him. Obviously for
me he’s better than what you think.
And then b) a beautiful football (and life) philosophy:
Nobody wants to concede the first goal.
If we only focused on the fact to prevent the opponent from scoring a goal, we
would be doing something in the way you *[the interviewers]* are proposing.
If we share the energy between creating and defending the possibility for the
opponent to score a goal is higher. This is a scientific analysis, a
mathematical analysis. But from a football point of view if you dominate the
game you have more chances to score goals and more chances not to concede goals.
…..
But you have actions of danger or situations that depend exclusively on the
team who is attacking and you have other actions that are made easier by the
team that is defending.
When you make it easier for the opponent to attack it’s when you make a
mistake. But the mistake is part of football. If there’s something that you
can’t ask to a football player, you can’t tell them ‘take risks but you are not
allowed to make a mistake.’ Because it's just nonsense.
The best ones take risks and don’t make mistakes. Those are very few. If you
tell a player takes risks but you're not allowed to make a mistake, the player
has only one solution - he wouldn't take a risk.
And if you don’t take risks in football games, the game becomes less attractive.
And then the capacity of winning decreases. When you play your way you always
compare yourself to the opponent.
If the only comparison we make is which team is not making mistakes, when two
teams play with the goal of not making a mistake, the game is not attractive.
Cheers
