Colombia and Uruguay faced each other at the Centenario stadium in Montevideo this Friday for the Qualifiers, but the reality is that optimism was quite moderate.
There is a lot of criticism against Marcelo Bielsa and his style, a direct consequence of the bomb that Luis Suárez dropped in his farewell about the manager's treatment and what he considered injustices with teammates.
One of the critics is an Atlético Nacional idol, Lorenzo Carrabs, who made it clear that not even they see their favorite team winning against Colombia.
“Here we are not very optimistic, the Uruguayan public is not very optimistic that Uruguay can win today (Friday) because of the moment that Uruguay is experiencing and because of all the problems that there are with the coach, I even think that there will be few people in the stadium, and in addition they are going to face a team that has been having a good campaign, that has good players and that the coach (Néstor Lorenzo) has managed to combine the players that have given him results and have a good team,” he said on Caracol TV; .
The transition to a more modern style of play is causing havoc, according to the former purslane: “We are used to another type of game, different from what the coach (Marcelo Bielsa) wants to offer the team. He wants a team with speed, that plays like a team like Argentina, like they play like in Europe, but here we are used to what they are, which are three strong brand midfielders, strong center backs and fast people up front, overflowing the center, Suárez, Cavani and Forlán came in and they scored the goals,” he said.
Go back to the past? “I think so, it has modernized and has changed a lot, the Uruguayan DNA is to have strong players, to try to counterpunch from behind and forward and with strength. I am going for the draw, I think Colombia has more chances of winning,” he stated.
