Football Bielsa goes all out against the United States: “In a country that was capable of FIFA Gate; Now it turns out that it is the players who are to blame.

Marcelo Bielsa, technical director of the Uruguay national team, spoke this Friday about the definition of the third place of the Copa America against Canada.

The coach took the opportunity to return to the incidents that occurred during the semi-final in which some players of La Celeste, whom he supported, were involved.

“These are mothers who were attacked with babies in their arms. ” he explained. Then he was asked about possible sanctions for the athletes, so he responded upset.

“You should ask me if the players received an apology from those who are supposed to ensure the safety of the spectators. ” he said.

“We are in the United States, so to speak, the country of security. If they had not done it, they would have been condemned by everyone, how can you not defend your mother, your sister, your baby. How can you not defend them if the arguments to prevent this from happening fail: prevention and emergency exit “, He continued.

“I am very afraid of a sporting revenge. They always threaten you sportingly. The message here was that we cannot defend your family and we cannot allow you to flee. What punishment are you talking about? What we need to see is when they will apologize. “He continued.

“In a country capable of FIFA Gate; It now turns out that it is the players who are to blame. ” he said.

He also had harsh words for the tournament organizers.”All the lies they told, that the fields are perfect or the training grounds are perfect and Bolivia didn’t train, it’s a plague of liars, and I’ve already said everything I promised myself not to say,” said Bielsa, visibly angry.

And in this sense he added: “Scaloni once spoke, these are all known mistakes, the Americans don’t tell you: ‘I’ll give you a perfect field’, they tell you: ‘I’ll give you a field that was installed two or three days ago’, and the unions don’t close and the training grounds, it was a disaster “.

“It was an extraordinary party, a full stadium and there is nothing to complain about, so we cannot continue to fool ourselves into thinking that the pitches are perfect. The playground manager, who knows perfectly well what she is doing and how badly she is doing it, held a press conference to say that it is something visual… ” he concluded.

Marcelo Bielsa’s comments about possible sanctions against footballers are due to a statement released by Conmebol in which they indicated that The organization’s disciplinary unit would assess possible sanctions for those involved .

“Given the acts of violence that occurred at the end of the match between the teams of Uruguay and Colombia, the CONMEBOL Disciplinary Unit has decided to open a file to clarify the sequence of events and the responsibilities of those involved. “, they noted through their social networks.

“We want to ratify and warn that no action will be tolerated that tarnishes the world football festival, in which the protagonists and the fans who will be present in the stadium during a final watched by hundreds of millions of spectators around the world are involved,” the text continues.

Furthermore, they stress that “it is unacceptable that an event like the one that occurred on this occasion transforms passion into violence. Therefore, Any attitude that undermines sporting competition and the most beautiful spectacle in the world that belongs to the whole family will not be tolerated. “.
