Don't know if anyone noticed, but during one break in play,nearly all the team we're huddled round Bielsa who was giving them instructions, must be all our players are fluent in Spanish, Or Maybe?

I think he understands English very well but is less confident speaking it (common trait in second languages). Watch him at the presser last night, the interpreter does his bit and MB answers as he finishes, he understood the English and already had his answer ready. It’s a very clever way of going about his interview imo

MB had a long chat with Woody after the Boro game. I know Woody played for Real but I doubt that conversation was conducted in Spanish. I am sure he speaks decent English but uses an interpreter to ensure his words are not misconstrued. __________________ BB

I reckon Bielsa and Woodgate had a very productive conversation in English as Bielsa could teach Woodgate some of the basics of the language...….. __________________ Everybody has a story to tell. That's why I hide at home
