"We have constructed a club where you can imagine this possibility being achieved," Bielsa says when Radrizzani's objectives are put to him.
"If I thought another way of playing would improve the team, I wouldn't have any doubts in doing it.
"The style of the team is always in conjunction with what's convenient and then it's a case of being able to execute those plans.
"There's only one great difference in style and that concerns what the goalkeeper does with the ball at the start of attacks. There are teams who put the ball in play, and others who opt to go long.
"It's a legitimate route to go direct as it reduces the potential for errors but it also reduces the beauty of the game and the possibilities to attack. Both approaches are legitimate but what I intend to do is improve what we do.
"What some have proposed is that we change our way of playing. To change it would be to forget the praise we have received during the three previous seasons."
"When you don't achieve immediate results, there are those who don't protect the essence," he says.
"They throw it away, and substitute it with something completely different. We've only had four rounds of matches, so it's a bit premature to draw conclusions."
"My motive is always to seek ways of winning. The position of those who want to see a different way of playing is understandable as it's human nature to not have tolerance towards adversity.
"There's another, more loyal way of looking at it whereby the adversity which comes in the process of constructing a team in your image is tolerated.
"When something is broken or suffers, there are two options: you throw it away and change it for another, or you look after it and try to put it back together. It's the same in life."
