In that sense, Canobbio assured that Marcelo Bielsa even got involved in his personal issues. “In a talk, he had both feet resting on the bottom of a chair. He reproached me that it was a lack of respect and education, he messed with my family’s education.“said the Athletico Paranaense player, who has not returned to the Uruguay national team since the continental competition.
To which he added: “It seemed like he was reproaching me for something that had nothing to do with it, and there I looked at him as if to say for a little. “I’m not a guy who takes it all and I came from many.”
In addition to this, he said that the coach pointed him out as the only person responsible for the celestial team’s defeat against Ecuador in the Qualifiers. “There was a specific date that had a big impact on me. In the match with Ecuador in the Qualifiers he blamed me for having lost a match. We are eleven players and he blamed me“, he said.
“In practice, We had had an exchange of words with Marcelo and he minimized me in front of the entire group. and it was there that Luis Suárez told me to let him speak and not to expose myself. Bielsa told me what do you think you are and I answered him. “Then they took me out and there was no more response.”Agustín Canobbio closed.
