At the age of 37, Luis Suárez said goodbye to the Uruguayan National Team, in which he played for 17 years and with which he had a brilliant cycle, which took the team to the semifinals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and won the 2011 Copa América.
According to the criteria of
Suárez, Lionel Messi’s teammate at Inter Miami, played his last game with the Celeste on September 6, in the 0-0 draw against Paraguya in Montevideo, after playing 143 games, in which he scored 69 goals, to become the team’s all-time top scorer. He also contributed 39 assists.
Luis Suárez’s criticism of Marcelo Bielsa’s behavior
The ‘Pistolero’ gave an interview to the DSports program De Fútbol Se Habla Así, and in it he destroyed the current coach of the Uruguay National Team, the Argentine Marcelo Bielsa, whom he criticized for his group management and the way he treats the players.
“Many players held a meeting to ask the coach to at least say good morning, not even say hello,” Suárez said.
Suárez was not called up by Bielsa in the first rounds of the tie and barely appeared on the November date, when he went to the bench against Argentina. He was then on the roster for the Copa América, in which he only played four games, all as a pinch-hitter, and scored one goal. The team finished in third place.
“In the Copa América there were situations that hurt me, that I did not say for the sake of coexistence. There were teammates who considered not playing with the National Team anymore,” Suarez pointed out. “I had a 5-minute talk with Bielsa speaking as a reference and at the end he only responded ‘thank you very much,'” he added.
Luis Suárez’s complaints about Bielsa’s treatment of employees
The attacker even denounced that Bielsa limited the mobility of people who work at the Celeste complex. “They don’t let the employees come in, say hello and eat with us. They have to take care of even the door through which they have to enter. “It breaks my heart that the Complex lives like this today.”he insisted.
Uruguay could not win on the September double date in the qualifiers. It ended with two goalless draws, against Paraguay and Venezuela, with many casualties due to the fight at the end of the Copa América semifinal against Colombia.
“Tomorrow I ask people not to get on with the players if something is not right. Bielsa has separated the entire group even from the way he trains,” concluded the Pistolero.
