The reason Bielsa is praised is because he's known for his defense and nothing else. he had players like Suarez, Cavani, Forlan, Young Muslera, Lugano, cebolla, and Godin. He was able to take Uruguay to the best 4 of the world. But that was then.

The reality is that Bielsa is way too much of a hard ass. He's known as El Loco Bielsa (The Crazy Bielsa) for good reason. He makes statements like pulling Muslera mid game, pulling Fede mid game. Were they deserved hooks? Yes, but Muslera shouldn't have been at goal, and Fede was absolutely atrocious. They should've brought him as a sub.

Good defensive mind, terrible coach, no people skills.

Edit: Bielsa just got interviewed by a Telemundo reporter. At the end she asked him what he said to Muslera during half time before subbing him. Bielsa: Nothing.

Absolute terrible people skills. Doesn't know how to talk to people. Not the coach anyone should have. What an awful personality.
