The Uruguayan press goes to Bielsa after expressing all its cachet in the team

Marcelo Bielsa made his official debut at the helm of the Uruguay team on Wednesday. He did it in a wide 4-1 victory against the Nicaragua team, managed by Marco Antonio Figueroa .

If the Uruguayan press appreciated the victory and underlined the game of La Celeste, it also reported on the weak hierarchy of the rival.

Ovación, for example, pointed out that “Uruguay had a lot of play on the wings and tried to open up the field all the time. In this sense, the interventions of Facundo Pellistri and Brian Rodríguez were important. Both have shown that they will -surely- be regular players for DT ”.

“Sometimes, although perhaps with some irregularity, there was a team looking to apply high pressure and play with one or two touches, clearly looking for a succession of passes. All Bielsa team stamps . So did the addition of the goalkeeper when building the game,” they added.

For its part, La Oral Deportiva stated that “The day of Marcelo Bielsa’s long-awaited debut as Uruguay coach has arrived during the FIFA friendly date against Nicaragua at the Centenario stadium. Without the historical figures or most of the footballers who played in the World Cup in Qatar, La Celeste also clearly triumphed 4-1 with a very high performance from Rodrigo Zalazar both for his goals and his sharp assists. ”.

They added that “despite the low hierarchy of the rival, this match was important for those who were there, because they really gave a review. They had their chance, even footballers who were in the World Cup, like Guillermo Varela, Matías Viña or Facundo Pellistri to name only those who were holders. They were perhaps the ones under the most pressure as they knew that what they had done so far with La Celeste had not been enough for Bielsa to have them among the group’s consolidated ones. ”.

Finally, they wrote that “The new Uruguay of Bielsa was launched and —even against an opponent who does not serve much measure— he left good feelings because he showed good handling of the ball but not without consequence, but with an objective that was to position its parts; He had dynamics with and without the ball; he was vertical and quick from one half court to the other; and scored four goals, to make the party complete ”.

La Diaria, meanwhile, said that “With goals from Matías Arezo, Rodrigo Zalazar by two and Brian Rodríguez, Uruguay in Marcelo Bielsa’s first game as sky coach beat Nicaragua 4-1 , which was reduced at the end of the match with annotation by Louis Coronel”.

“With the arrival of Bielsa, a coach who could be considered among the best in the world, the expectation has skyrocketed due to the ability and quality of the DT and the ability and quality of Uruguayan football, boosted by the recent world title for young players. “, they argued.
