Uruguay refutes Pablo Pozo on the Centenario field: “He doesn’t know us and knows Bielsa even less”

Uruguay celebrates the victory they probably wanted the most. La Celeste beats Brazil, a rival it considers historic for several reasons. He does it with authority. The Eastern team fully embraced the plan designed by Marcelo Bielsa to beat that of interim Fernando Diniz, who took over as Scratch manager after Tite left and until the next permanent coach arrived. The feeling of happiness lasts. Certainly for a long time.

In this Eastern country, there is no room for questioning, but in Chile, yes. “I watch Uruguay vs Brazil and I feel like the pitch at Centenario Stadium is shorter and narrower », writes Pablo Pozo, the former president of the Referees Commission on his Twitter profile. And adds: “It would be nice to know if it measures 105×68 ″. Finally, he attributes the eventual revival to Rosario. “How does Professor Bielsa know this? “, he suggests.

The Uruguayan Football Federation does not hesitate to respond to Pozo’s postulate. “No “, Jorge Giordano, director of the Uruguayan national teams, responds directly to the question of Sporty . “The land was inspected during technical meetings “, he specifies, to put an end to doubts.

The following assessment is valuable. “We don’t get those kinds of benefits. He doesn’t know us. And he knows less about Bielsa », he answers, for more completeness. “To be clear, nothing was touched, but hey… “, he underlines, in a new attempt to calm any controversy over the dimensions of his country’s most traditional playing field.

The next consideration concerns Rosario’s work. “Excellent is the word “, he says, trying to summarize the sensations that Loco’s work left, despite the controversy that some of his decisions generated, mainly that of doing without historical actors, like Luis Suárez and Edinson Cavani. This qualification is also reinforced by the milestone reached this Tuesday in Montevideo: beating Scratch again after 23 years.

After the match, Bielsa spoke about the process he is going through and the decisions he had to make. “Changes, when a team has to make do with a different set of players than those who have done so successfully for over a decade, are not easy. Even though it’s not simple, Many players on the current team have been molded by those who have left. . I hear it, I hear it, the respect and gratitude with which the players speak of those who are not there, or absent circumstantially, or momentarily. I’m referring to Araujo, Valverde, everyone except the youngest. And even the youngest are the product of an invisible and very rich training that the players do on themselves. . The bigger ones rather than the smaller ones,” he stressed.

In this scenario he expressed the importance of respecting the particularity of Uruguayan football. “Its very important. It should not be ignored because the style and model are passed down from generation to generation. A football with as much wealth as Uruguayan football, the worst thing to do is not to value the procedure . Then there are the nuances, the characteristics of the players and what you can try to do. But the most important thing is that A country’s brand should never be ignored, and Uruguay has it. You have to build through it. “, he established.
