Marcelo Bielsa on modern football: “I am sure that football is in a process of decline. “It is becoming less and less attractive because what made it the best game in the world is not there anymore. “If you let a lot of people watch football, but you don't protect the pleasure of what they watch, that favours business, because the business is that a lot of people watch football. “For me, the introduction of technology like VAR does a lot of harm to football. “This sport has a particularity: when it becomes completely predictable, it loses its appeal. “As time passes, as fewer and fewer footballers are worth watching and as the game produced is less and less enjoyable, this artificial increase in the number of spectators will be interrupted.” Good to see people like him calling it out 👏
