The current Inter Miami striker but above all a true legend of the country did not fail to send criticism to his former coach during an interview granted to D Sport Uruguay.
“At the Copa América, some players told me: ‘Luis, I’m going to play the Copa América and then I won’t play anymore. “. I didn’t speak out at the time for the good of the group but it will continue to happen. Many players organized a meeting to ask the coach to at least greet us with a hello. He didn’t even say hello to us. Agustin Canobbio was a training player for half of the Copa América. We cannot believe in a player who is part of the squad of 26 players for a Copa América and in the end he is there to do what a sparring partner does,” he declared.
Before continuing: “During a match, he forbade us to greet the fans. I stood up as captain and we all did what we always do, greet the fans. The next day we had a team talk and Bielsa started talking about the Uruguayans. And then he said: “Who does the Uruguayan play for?” For the people. “. And I swear we all started looking at each other as if to say, “For the people? Yesterday you asked us not to talk to them. Sometimes it’s easy to talk and make people hear what they want you to hear. But these aren’t always the true stories about what’s happening and that hurts. » Words that should make the various observers of the Uruguay national team react.
