There is nothing like seeing your favourite football players and coaches, who are paid a lot of money to take a game very seriously, try to let their hair down in an unusual and uncomfortable environment.Well, in an unexpected aside to the action on the pitch, Getty Images has taken a series of portraits of the World Cup’s most prominent figures, many of which are going viral, and rarely for football reasons. Some are funny, others are awkward. And one, involving a Uruguay manager who holds a special place in the hearts of many in West Yorkshire, is slightly bizarre.Here, The Athletic looks at some of the best and worst.Marcelo BielsaMarcelo Bielsa refuses to engage (Michael Regan – FIFA via Getty Images)“I’m not a model,” was Marcelo Bielsa’s characteristically blunt defence when he was asked why he refused to play ball with the photographers for his portrait pictures. One of football management’s true eccentrics, Bielsa, who is referred to as “El Loco” (the crazy) in his home country of Argentina, is a character who splits opinion.Ask most Leeds United fans about Bielsa, and they’ll speak endlessly about the man who brought the club back to the Premier League after a 16-year absence, playing some of the best and most attractive football Elland Road has seen in a long time. For others, his cantankerous nature can be grating.“I don’t have to give any explanation; the picture was taken the way it was taken,” Bielsa added. “Should I also explain why I don’t look at the people who are speaking to me at this moment?”Either way, by staying true to his nature, Bielsa has created one of this tournament’s early viral moments.Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel MessiCristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi don’t pose together (Pat Elmont and Karl Bridgeman – FIFA via Getty Images)Just before you get too excited, no, this isn’t a ‘real’ picture.While it would be nice to imagine Getty’s photographers getting the world’s two most famous footballers to pose back to back before what will surely be their last World Cups, this is a composite image — a slightly less ambitious version of Annie Leibovitz’s image of the pair playing chess to advertise Louis Vuitton.Given relations between Messi and Ronaldo have not always been overly friendly, that’s probably for the best.Dan BurnDan Burn dares to daydream (Carmen Mandato – FIFA via Getty Images)Dan Burn was a surprising inclusion in Thomas Tuchel’s squad, even though he has featured fairly regularly since the German started as England manager last year.While Tuchel might yet spring a surprise with his team selection as England hope to improve on their run to the quarter-finals from 2022, Burn is expected to be a squad player who will likely see little on-pitch action.Perhaps this is Burn preparing to watch his team-mates from the comfort of the bench, letting his mind wander, or spectating in awe as England dominate the group on their way through to the knockouts.Declan RiceDeclan Rice forgets to apply a second layer before heading out (Richard Pelham/FIFA via Getty Images)Look, Declan, we’ve all been there. You’ve forgotten to apply sunscreen or overestimated your ability to adjust to a sunnier climate than London.
