At least, when APG netted his second, he didn't make the same mistake and went to celebrate with the fans. He ran towards the bench to see Bielsa looking at the other side and turning his back to him. The best, though, was when Andre-Pierre Gignac scored his first goal of the night, to level the game at 1-1.
The language was clearly an issue, and he seemed to struggle to communicate with his players. He looked impatient, upset at times, not giving much away sitting on a blue cooler or squatting, which is the "typical Bielsa position." Bielsa, nicknamed" El Loco" (the crazy one) was the star of the opening Ligue 1 weekend. Same in Spain, South America and France obviously.
In Italy, where Serie A has not started yet, all the talk was about his debut. He doesn't seem to like the media, but the media love him, because he is so different than anyone else we have seen.īecause of Bielsa, Bastia versus Marseille was shown all over the world. Look, we have talked for 45 minutes to say nothing!" Thank you, Marcelo. His assistant, Franck Passi, a former OM player and Spanish speaker after a few seasons at Celta Vigo, translated the words of his boss, including the last sentence: "I don't like to talk. Obviously, this first Marseille league game of the season was all about the Argentine.Ī few days before the match, and almost two months after his arrival in the South of France, Bielsa gave his first news conference. Do you know any other manager who stays 10 minutes on his bench after the game finished? No. He is alone, probably lost in his thoughts. But Bielsa is still sitting in the dugout. The fans have also started to leave the stadium. So are the Bastia players and Claude Makelele, their manager. All the OM players are back in the dressing room. The referee has blown the final whistle a good 10 minutes ago. Marseille have just thrown away a two-goal advantage at Bastia to end Marcelo Bielsa's first ever Ligue 1 game as a 3-3 draw. Saturday night in Furiani, North Corsica.
