He heard so much himself in Greece, he said-probably-to get out of the way… The reason for him Gustavo Poget, who slammed Marcelo Bielsa for his selections in the Uruguay national team following their 2-1 World Cup qualifier defeat to Ecuador. The Argentinian coach had heard a lot before the match too, about his decision not to call up legends Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez in favor of a partial renewal.
“If I make a line-up with those he called up, I think I would put four, five or six of the players that Bielsa put in. The players of the eleven did not match each other, they had no hopePoget said. “I don’t know what Marcelo did, but if it was me, I would talk to Suarez and Cavani and then decide whether to call them up. It’s complicated, but the best thing a federal coach can do is pick the ones he wants“, added the national coach of Greece.
However, he somewhat “golden” the pill for Bielsa, saying that “… it’s an interesting case. He is unique, there is no one like him, although many call themselves… Bielschista. Hopefully he will contribute a lot and the next manager will take advantage of what Bielsa will leave in the national team».
Finally, regarding the goal of qualification, Poget considers it self-evident: “It will be the easiest qualifiers in history because two additional countries qualify. So it would be a disaster not to go to the World Cup».
