Do not underestimate the love Marcelo Bielsa has for Newell’s Old Boys.
Seriously, find someone who loves you as much as Bielsa loves Newell’s.
Somebody very kindly translated Bielsa's whole message for me so I've updated this piece with the full transcript of it. The man is Newell's daft:https://t.co/WgyDJAq1jK

Bielsa had a nine minute video presented at the opening of the training facility in Rosario for Newell’s, for which he donated £3 million of his own money. Here is part of what he said:
Excluding my personal life, nothing makes me more emotional than every day when I recall Newell’s. With respect to the building of relationships, the conduct, the behaviour and the decisions we make are linked to the values we receive and incorporate forever. I know this is not a law but the better we are, the better the world we create.
Seriously, go read the whole thing. It’s amazing.
