“It was a tough game, Uruguay played very well in terms of intensity, how to press, I didn’t let Argentina think in all those times that obviously the team needs to hold the ball and have good possession to be able to attack. “I think Uruguay worked to prevent this from happening in the game, it was intense during the ninety minutes and I think they won a deservedly won and well-played game.”Cholo highlighted.

When asked if ‘he saw Bielsa’s hand’ In the Uruguayan team he had no doubts: “We know Marcelo, he is a coach who maintains that intensity on all teams, he has young people in Uruguay today and I’m sure he feels stronger, they follow him and they are all ‘sponges’ to accompany him”.

“Better than the coaches, no one sees the game and Scaloni will clearly understand how he has to play, “I don’t imagine it will change much.”He said without hesitation about the possibilities of making changes to the team to face Brazil.
