Live broadcast on July 13 Uruguay will face Canada in the third and fourth place finals of the Copa America, and before the game, Uruguay coach Bielsa attended a press conference. At the meeting, Bielsa lashed out at the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) and the Copa America tournament organizer United States. At the same time, he also severely criticized the reporters who attended the scene.
The Uruguay players clashed fiercely with Colombia fans in the stands after losing in the semifinals. Since the beginning of the Copa America, Bielsa has had a lot of resentment, and under the reporter's question, Bielsa broke out!
Problem: Players may be penalized
Bielsa: "I mentioned the other day that when the media has a sufficiently obvious basis for judgment, it shouldn't question anyone anymore! The cause of the reaction is part of the interpretation of the event being assessed. When the only thing that's obvious is that there are babies being held by mothers, women, sisters, mothers being attacked by fans, how can you ask me such a question!? The protection of the fans has nothing to do with this event!
"What people should ask is whether the players have received apologies because their families are not protected. How could I be afraid of an unjustified punishment for not taking proper care of my family! The only thing I can say is that the players reacted like anyone. When you see an unconventional behavior or violent reaction, the first thing you need to consider is what caused the reaction! There is only one thing that matters to me: a person who sees his mother, wife and children being beaten! There must be a procedure in place to prevent this from happening. Do you want me to talk about it?! ”
Journalist Rodrigo Romano, visibly displeased by Bielsa's words, said: "I'm leaving because I don't think that's how things are. "Bielsa broke out again!
Bielsa: "Journalism responds to interests and submits to power!" There's part unbiased journalism, and there's part bought journalism that caters to the benefits of the powerful – and that's money! I'm not a fool, I'll start by saying that I don't know exactly what the proportions are, but it is true that there is a percentage of news outlets that fail to report what they should have reported, and others that report what they shouldn't!
"The message they gave us was – we can't protect their families and we can't allow them to escape, so, what sanctions are you guys talking about? What should be talked about is how long it will take for them to apologize to you. How can I discuss this topic based on your questions? I hope you'll put yourself in my shoes – a man is threatened! I'm tired of it! A press conference was held to say that the course was flawless, but in reality it was not! It's full of liars! Scaloni spoke up once, and then was told not to say it again! The players can't speak up! All are under threat! And the relationship between the trade unions has not been resolved! It's all a mistake! North Americans screwed everything up on the field! Bolivia has not even trained! Of course~ because they are Bolivia~ and Brazil didn't get a penalty after that...... You already know all this old thing......
This could not be more obvious – the United States, when it sensed that its interests were under attack, created the FIFAGATE (see note at the end of the article). Nothing happened here, just an extraordinary party in a full stadium. There is nothing to complain about. But don't have a press conference and lie and say that the playing field is in good condition! How can a player be forced to react to something and worry about whether he will be sanctioned? The only thing missing is sanctions! It's all a witch hunt! For a responsible country as an organizer! All shame! ”
Note: "FIFAGATE incident" - also known as "2015 FIFA bribery case". Refers to a corruption case in May 2015 involving a number of officials of FIFA, the governing body for international sport. Towards the end of May 2015, 14 people were arrested in connection with a wire fraud, extortion and money laundering case investigated by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Criminal Investigation Division of the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS-CI). The survey focused on the intercontinental soccer association body, the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL), the Central American and Caribbean Football Association (CONCACAF) and sports marketing executives. The Head of Sports Marketing holds media and marketing rights for high-profile national events including the FIFA World Cup Americas Qualifiers, the Americas Gold Cup and the America's Cup. The incident also involved the bidding process for the 2018 World Cup in Russia and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
