In the middle of the week, Uruguayan national team idol Luis Suárez criticized the coach’s behavior.
The Uruguayan national team is doing a great job on the field in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. After eight rounds, the Uruguayans occupy third place with 15 points, three behind leaders Argentina and six ahead of the eighth place, making it unlikely they will miss the World Cup.

However, an internal problem could jeopardize everything. It concerns the way coach Marcelo Bielsa interacts with his players. Just over a month after wearing the Uruguayan national team jersey for the last time, idol Luis Suárez revealed that the current coach is extremely cold with his squad.
This statement has been confirmed by other players. So far, Internacional goalkeeper Sergio Rochet and the team’s most internationally recognized midfielder, Federico Valverde from Real Madrid, have echoed the striker’s concerns.
What stood out in the interview of the number 9 to “DSports Uruguay” was the report of a meeting where the squad asked the coach to at least say good morning to the players. According to Valverde, another meeting will be held to openly address the issues during the group’s meeting for the FIFA date.
Uruguay will travel to the National Stadium in Lima to face Peru on the 11th and, four days later, on the 15th, will host Ecuador at the Centenario Stadium. Get a step ahead with BBscore football.
