Diego Simeone is in Argentina and following his arrival in the country he spoke exclusively with TyC Sports. The Argentine coach of Atlético de Madrid referred to the Argentine National Team, the defeat once morest Uruguay and the classic once morest Brazil that they must face this Tuesday.
“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 moments that obviously the team needs to hold the ball and have good possession to be able to attack. I think Uruguay He worked so that this did not happen in the game, he was intense during the ninety minutes and I think he won a game that was deservedly won and well played,” Cholo highlighted.
When asked if Bielsa’s hand was ‘seen’ in the Uruguayan team, he had no doubts: “We know Marcelo, he is a coach who maintains that intensity in all teams, he has young people in Uruguay today and I’m sure he feels The stronger they follow him and they are all ‘sponges’ to accompany him”.
When asked regarding the future rival, Brazil, he acknowledged that it is totally different from the rest and the team knows it. “They have responded very well in these last games that they have had to play once morest Brazil,” he said and also acknowledged that the green and yellow team is not doing ‘so well’. He also warned: “You have to be careful because that ‘it’s not going so well’ is dangerous. But I think that this match with Uruguay will surely do the group good because they have a chemistry between them and a strength that is perceived enormously from the outside, that they are winners, that they are doing well and that they want to continue on that streak, which is very difficult because it is not possible to win every day.”
“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 doubting the possibilities of making changes to the team to face Brazil.
