At the same time, Bielsa He referred to the repercussions generated by his last words after the defeat against Colombia and he said: “I don’t know what the repercussions have been. It is likely that people will question what I say, but I stopped reading what is published about me or what I say years ago. Nothing I said can be interpreted as untrue.. He who exalts himself loses part of his reason, but I mentally reviewed what I said and they are true. They are not debatable. When someone expresses himself with force, it is very difficult not to interpret the speaker as a vain and egotistical person. If what I said is not true, it would be a shame on my part. Everything I said is true and is verifiable, demonstrable.”.
Finally, the Argentine coach reviewed the level of Uruguay in the America Cup and shared: “Uruguay is one of the three best teams in the competition and considering that the tournament involves Central America, North America and South Americabeing among the top three is deserved and allows for optimism. As a self-criticism linked to my management, we should have played better with continuity, although there were few teams that played well. Getting the Uruguayan players to be close to their best level, I did not achieve that. We could have played a little better than we did.”
“Until today’s game, Uruguay He ran more than all the rivals and the teams that participated in the tournament, that’s a fact. Uruguay “It is one of the teams that most needs to play in the style that I propose. I cannot go against what I feel and believe, but in this particular match I did notice that there were errors in calculations on my part because the rivals were fresher and at times in the match they outplayed us, even though our individualities were better than theirs,” he concluded.
