It is a crucial match for Uruguay. The early hours of Sunday to Monday, the team that commands Marcelo Bielsa They will seek to ‘fix’ the tie against Saudi Arabia and not play against Spain on the last day of the group stage. For that, again in Miami, They must improve the image of their debut and beat Cape Verde.
And the Uruguayan coach, who spoke at a press conference, is extremely clear:
Tattooing Bielsa’s face. That’s not going to happen. I have enormous respect for De la Fuente, if the boys make that decision (tattooing De la Fuente’s fall), I think they would not be wrong. But they made a very difficult situation: they have to become world champions to pay him that tribute.

Chemistry. In any tournament or circumstance, it is an element that is above any element. Players run more out of enthusiasm than preparation. The mood, when interacting in the intimacy of a group, is decisive, but we also know that moods are built with victories. Everything has nuances.
Fede Valverde’s position and release him. That the game was more to the left… I don’t know if you have any information, it didn’t give me that feeling. I remember two or three consecutive games for Valverde, one against City, who played on the right and stood out enormously. But it is true that a player like him, the more times he is in contact with the ball, and taking into account the type of reception he can make, the more he influences the team he plays for. He is a player who always improves the play. Perhaps, it could be, the right side took away his receptions. But there are times when one says that he touched four balls, and in that game with City he touched four and won the game for those balls he touched.

Give the eleven before. As coaches, we should make the lineup mandatory. One day I did it, I think it was in Bilbao, and it was highly criticized because they said it gave advantages to the rival… so since then I prefer to give it to the players first.

What a team must have to reach the final. First, players. Players with resources, with conditions, with personality to put them into play. Then there is that certain things that can happen, happen in your favor… that has a lot of weight in football. Then, few injuries so that the habits that are generated through continuity are consolidated.
