MOSCOW, July 13 Head coach of the Uruguay national football team Marcelo Bielsa criticized the organization of the America's Cup in the United States.
The Uruguay team will play for bronze medals with the Canadian team. The match will take place on the night of July 14 and will begin at 3:00 Moscow time.
“»They hold press conferences and say: “No, the fields are perfect, the training fields are perfect.” I have photographs that show that all this is a lie. A complete lie. Now I have already said everything that I promised to the organizers and the federation will not be told. There will be punishment for this. These are all mistakes that were known in advance. The North Americans do not say: “You will get the perfect field.” They say: “We will give you the field that was installed three days ago.” «, Bielsa was quoted as saying by The Athletic.
«They hold a press conference and say that this is an optical illusion, that Vinicius Junior does not see anything. That Lionel Scaloni should not say. Let me remind you that the USA, when they felt that their interests were being attacked, created a FIFA-gate (corruption scandal 2015). Together with the FBI, they did what they did, but it was in their interests,” the specialist added.
Earlier, the captain of the Argentina national team, Lionel Messi, complained about the quality of football fields.
The America's Cup was supposed to be held in Ecuador, but in 2022 the country refused to host it, which is why the competition was moved to the USA.
