Propelled on the bench of the Uruguay team, Marcelo Bielsa did not hesitate to decide on the spot to mark his territory.
It was enough to see Federico Valverde and Manuel Ugarte arrive at a press conference to measure that Uruguay has indeed shifted into a new era. A chapter where today’s innkeepers are no longer those of yesterday. For the next two qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup, against Chile and Ecuador, Marcelo Bielsa has chosen to deprive himself of two Celeste icons, Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani.
The two goleadors have been on a declining phase for a few years, but this strong choice of the Argentine technician has obviously fueled the debates in the country. Can Bielsa recall the two stars eventually? No option is to be excluded. But while waiting for a hypothetical return, Cavani did not hesitate to speak, this Thursday, on social networks.
Cavani takes the floor
” I want to enjoy life. Life is made up of stages and well, if the person making the decision thinks that I am not up to the task of being part of the national team, perfectdropped the Matador. They make their decision. They have the power to decide who they call. These things happen and I experience it that way. I don’t want to debate the fact that I can be there (in selection) or not, whether I am physically well or not. I do not care “.
” I’m not 25 anymore when I played three games a week, continued Edinson Cavani. I wouldn’t be able to do it today, I’m realistic, I understand many things. I want to live free from all these preoccupations. If football shows me that I am no longer at the level to be competitive, then I will stop. It won’t affect me or make me cry“Concluded the former PSG striker.
