In 2016 Bielsa gave a magnificent masterclass. Back then, he was already talking about something that would revolutionize football, the ¨Third man concept¨ 🥰 Today all coaches talk about this To see this great masterclass FULL with English subtitles, send me DM! Follow me!

Let be clear. I am not saying (and bielsa either) that he created this concept. What he is saying, is how key this concept will become to eliminate opponents. 20 years ago perhaps the dribble was the key way, now players don’t dribble, so the third man is more key, etc. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Third man running was taught on English FA Courses in the 70s.....I rate Bielsa but he certainly didn't create this as a new way of playing.

I Dm’d you!!

This is like the Dai Vernon principle in magic: a large action covers a smaller action. Brilliant.

Im sure Uruguay scored their 1st competitive goal under Bielsa with a 3rd man run

Me podrías enviar la charla completa fe Bielsa?

This proves that being a coach is not only standing on the sidelines and shouting instructions and giving interviews post match no, it’s philosophical 🧐, innovative and see what other people don’t see and influencing the game.

God, we really didn’t know how lucky we were
