A football Coach sitting on a Blue Bucket

On a blue bucket, in his new dugout
He stretches his seeing to another place
Which widens his view to see further out

Wondering what the fuss is all about
He’s content in his own confined space
On his blue bucket, in his new dugout

His differing ways will leave no one in doubt
That he’s preparing for a championship race
While widening his view with a better lookout

In his humble way he’s worked it all out
And now ready to show his football face
On a blue bucket, in his new dugout

Everyone’s ready for the big turnabout
As he works his players in a fitness chase
While widening his view with a better lookout

Confidence is now at a very high shout
With all concerned accepting his gruelling pace
On his blue bucket, in his new dugout
He widens his view to see further out.

    That blue bucket is iconic! Very characteristic of Bielsa and that is captured well in this piece
