What is Marcelo Bielsa like as a manager? What is he like as a man? The enigmatic Argentinian is a legend of the game who has influenced the likes of Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino, as well as a private man who mostly ignores the media to focus on football.

His players, however, know him well. Patrick Bamford is one such player, and we sat down with him recently to talk all things Bielsa.

How does he get such commitment and effort from his players? Does anyone watch more football than him? (clue: no) How hard is pre-season training under him? The answer is extremely hard.

Sit down and enjoy 9 and a half minutes of unadulterated Bielsa.
