Football The reaction of the president of Conmebol after Marcelo Bielsa’s darts

“You can’t keep fooling yourself into thinking the fields are good. The playground manager, who I know who she is and I know the job she does, how badly she does it, held a conference to lie (…) They held press conferences to say that the pitches were perfect, just like the training pitches. “They are a plague of liars,” Marcelo Bielsa said at his press conference on Friday. The hard darts of the Uruguayan strategist were aimed everywhere. The man from Rosario referred to FIFA Gate, the FBI and Conmebol. No one was safe from their criticism.

During his appearance, the Argentine coach also stressed that his colleagues were forced to remain silent due to the poor organization of the 2024 Copa America. “They threatened Scaloni so that he would not speak anymore,” he said. “They say it’s a visual problem, that Vinicius can’t see, that Scaloni doesn’t need to talk, that the training grounds are all perfect. I have a collection of photos of fields, more even, patched up. “After having attended training camps and seeing the owners say ‘excuse me guys, this is unacceptable, you can’t train here’, we understand it,” explained the transandine.

“The players can’t talk, everything is under threat. What is the threat? Deportiva, like now, they will suspend you, but apologize, man, what are you going to suspend? If they just have to say “we made such mistakes, we are responsible, we assume our responsibilities”. It’s over.” completed an annoyed Bielsa.

His accusations have caused a stir in South America. Without going any further, Alejandro Domínguez took almost 24 hours to reappear publicly. The president of Conmebol was one of the protagonists of the competition. He was seen in many matches, always appearing on television and with special coverage of his movements on the official social networks of the continental competition.

He has now preferred to opt for silence. However, without words, he responded to the main point addressed by Bielsa during the press conference: the state of the pitches. The Paraguayan coach visited the Hard Rock Stadium pitch, where the final between Argentina and Colombia will take place this Sunday, July 14. The Asuncion leader was seen entering the playing field in shorts and sneakers and making a video showing the state of the turf.

In addition, he published on Instagram a preview of what the definition will be between the team led by Lionel Messi and the team led by James Rodriguez. “ Miami will feel the grandeur of a historic Conmebol Copa América final “, wrote.
