💬 | "Good evening. I called this press conference because tomorrow we have the classic press conference ahead of our game against Stoke City" 
💬 | Marcelo Bielsa: "Many people have made an opinion on my behaviour. Many condemning the behaviour, saying that it was not ethical, it was not moral."
💬 | Marcelo Bielsa: "One point I'd like to talk about, is that I'm going to make it easier for the investigation of the league. I'm going to give the information it needs."
💬 | Marcelo Bielsa: "What I have done is not illegal. We can discuss it, it's not seen as a good thing, but it's not a violation of the law. I know that not everything that is legal is right to do."
💬 | Marcelo Bielsa: "About 20 staff create a volume of information, which is absolutely not necessary. It doesn't define the path of the competition. So why do we that? Because we feel guilty if we don't work enough, and we feel it gets us closer to a win even if it's not true."
💬 | Marcelo demonstrates the analysis his team goes through for each opponent, and how it totals more than 300 hours of work
💬 | Marcelo: "What I'm trying to do is convince you that what I said about not getting an unfair advantage was true. I can't speak English but I can speak about the 24 teams in the Championship"
💬 | Marcelo whilst showing the percentages that opponents have used specific formations: "All the information that these reports have, responds to the questions that I have asked myself in the last 30 years of opponents. We gather all this information from the 31 games."
💬 | Marcelo now walks the press through video analysis of an opponent’s offensive actions, explaining how it totals 40 minutes, which is then broken down into 8 minute clips for the players
💬 | Moving onto the detailed reports his staff produce on opposition players "I look at each player, and I know how many minutes they have played in each game" Using examples, Marcelo also breaks down how many minutes certain players have played in each position
💬 | "To conclude, as we're going to play vs Stoke, and it is hard for us to analyse them, as they've only played a few games with a new head coach. We analysed the 26 games that he played with Luton, and we also analysed the tactical scenarios he used"
