Marcelo Bielsa, coach of the Uruguay national team, organized a long press conference during which he discussed in detail his team's unsuccessful performance at the 2026 World Cup. Uruguay did not get out of the group, drawing with Saudi Arabia and Cabo Verde and losing to Spain.

The coach of the Uruguay national team, Marcelo Bielsa, organized a press conference lasting an hour and a half, during which he focused on analyzing his team's performance at the 2026 World Cup. Uruguay failed to get out of the group, drawing with Saudi Arabia (1:1) and Cabo Verde (2:2) and losing to Spain (0:1). Bielsa came to the conference with documents in hand and spoke openly about his thoughts.

"I'm sure no one is interested in what I know. I can tell when someone really wants to know my experience. None of what I tried to convey was considered important. For me it's not a problem - if people don't want to know what I know. Closed topic. I experienced this when an engineer from Australia, dreaming of a coaching job in Montevideo, wanted to visit me. I said: 'Okay, come,' I shared my knowledge and he accepted it and now works in Uruguayan football. He's the only person I remember who cared about my knowledge," Bielsa said.
