Marcelo Bielsa, the manager of Uruguay, finds himself in a challenging position after Luis Suarez, the team's star striker, criticized his coaching approach. Suarez, who retired from international football recently, accused Bielsa's methods of sowing division within the squad.
The striker, currently with Inter Miami, referred to undisclosed disagreements during the Copa America tournament in the United States, where Uruguay finished in third place. Suarez chose not to voice his concerns at the time but has now made his feelings known.
In response, Bielsa stated that despite the internal frictions, his dedication to preparing for their match against Peru remained steadfast. Uruguay, currently third in the World Cup Qualifying standings, are gearing up for their next match against Ecuador.
