“I think what happened to Ronald Araujo was a muscle injury.” which will confirm tomorrow when they do the study. Marcelo Bielsa, coach of Uruguay, confirmed the obvious when the FC Barcelona defender left the field in tears during the Copa América match between the Uruguayan team and the Brazilian team, who qualified first for the semifinals of the tournament in a penalty shootout. Bielsa, in his brief comments about the culé defender, almost assumed that the injury to his right leg would be “confirmed” in the pending scans.
In his media appearance, Bielsa reflects the saturation of matches which includes contemporary football. “This is an option that cannot be ignored. It is important to note that when the whole season is over, the one that started in August and ended in June, the European season, the players accumulate between 40 and 50 games. Then comes this competition of playing twice a week,” the Argentine coach listed. Bielsa elaborated on the burden it entails because the setup is set up like this. “All the elite players in Europe play twice a week. It’s one thing to do it regularly for nine months and another to repeat this kind of effort in months 10, 11. The game that Uruguay ran the most was the first in the Qualifiers with Chile, but that was in September, when they play 2-3 games. Now those who come from Europe and South America also play twice a week but from February or March. This is a generalization that allows us to draw some conclusions,” concluded Bielsa.
If not, Bielsa praised the defensive culture of the Uruguayan footballer, of which Araujo is one of the best examples, not by playing backwards but by his sense of commitment to the team. “A few days ago I read a comment from a Uruguayan coach who said that when I play soccer in Uruguay I will learn to defend, and it has a lot of truth because Uruguay is a team that, when it comes to the defense, is very -consistent,” he stressed. . “He played in Mexico, the United States and Brazil, three rivals to draw important conclusions and the goals did not concede. I think, defensively, not because of an issue that I developed but that with the players that I coach, should we don’t have goals,” he recalled. “Everything that happens is Uruguayan style, because it’s always the players who give the team a profile,” he summed up.
