Bielsa has taken the Whites back to the top flight for the first time since the
club's relegation in May 2004 and Bilic says the Argentinian's methods are so
unique that they could not be replicated by another manager.

"When you are talking about football with (Antonio) Conte, when you see him
on TV, he is physically hurt when they lose a match. And those kinds of people
work harder than other ones.

"(Jurgen) Klopp, Conte, Pep (Guardiola) and Bielsa. That's just crazy. You can't
say 'I will go watch Bielsa do coaching and next year we will be the same'. You
will not.

"You need to be Bielsa!"

"Now some other coach will write all Bielsa is doing in training etc and we will
win. It doesn't go like that.

"That's why he is 'El Loco'. That's why I love him the most. He is a true
gentleman. True gentleman and that's it. That respect he gives to others. And he
is Bielsa."
