The former striker and historic scorer of Colo Colo, Esteban Paredesreferred to what difference to Marcelo Bielsa by Jorge Sampaolitwo of the great coaches that La Roja had with the so-called Golden Generation.
It was in an interview with La Tercera that the former leader of the ‘Cacique’, who was under the orders of the two, decided to distance themselves between the two.
“Bielsa had no friends in the National Team, that sets him apart from Sampaoli”the ‘7 of the Albos’ stated bluntly.
Paredes also highlighted the work of ‘Loco’: “Bielsa showed me videos of 1 minute 20 seconds, or 1 minute 40 seconds, but not showing the bad. He always showed me the good things I did. That told me that I had to repeat it 10 or 15 times per game.”
“(With Bielsa) It was a very aggressive team, very intense. When the ball was lost, it had to be recovered as soon as possible, within six or seven seconds.. And he attacked on the wings,” he added, making it clear which one he preferred.
Let us remember that Esteban Paredes was one of Marcelo Bielsa’s nominees for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The striker even gave a goal pass to Mark González for the victory against Switzerland (2-1).
With Sampaoli, meanwhile, he was called up to Brazil 2014, but did not register minutes on the field.
