Luis Suarez slams Bielsa’s coaching style

Agency :

Former Uruguay striker Luis Suarez said Marcelo Bielsa’s coaching style has divided the national team to the point where some players are considering quitting the squad.

Uruguay’s all-time leading scorer Suarez, who retired from international football last month, said Bielsa’s tactics and changes since taking over last year have caused a rift in the team.

“I will ask the fans not to take it out on the players when things go wrong. Bielsa has divided the whole group because of the way he trains,” Suarez told DSports in an interview on Thursday.

“The players will reach a limit, they’ll explode. There were even teammates who said to me they were only playing in the Copa America and nothing else,” he said.
