Uruguay boss Marcelo Bielsa says his 'authority was affected' when Luis Suarez criticised his coaching style earlier this month.
Uruguay boss Marcelo Bielsa says his "authority was affected" when Luis Suarez criticised his coaching style.
In an interview with Latin American broadcaster DSports, Uruguay's all-time leading scorer also asked "the fans not to take it out on the players when things go wrong" because "the players will reach a limit and they will explode" under the Argentine's working conditions. Uruguay lost 1-0 in the Fifa World Cup qualifier, but remain third in the overall standings, behind Argentina and Colombia, with 15 points from nine games.
"It didn't alter the conviction with which the match was prepared and the way the group and the coaching staff worked. The preparation was the same as always."
