""I don't feel like I'm making a complaint against anyone," he told reporters: "What is affected after this performance is my management of the game, the players, and the resources. This isn't a problem with the players; it's a problem with the use and management of the resources available to the Uruguayan national team. There's no way Uruguay's best players can lose a match like this against the second-string United States.""
""I reviewed the process that the current coach [Pochettino] is implementing, and we knew all the difficulties we would face on the field. What surprised me about the United States? Nothing. We prepared a team to play a match, fully aware of the challenges we would face, and yet we didn't succeed. Furthermore, a significant gap emerged between us. This is a strong argument for serious criticism of the management.""
Uruguay suffered a 5-1 defeat to the United States in Tampa, with Sebastian Berhalter opening the scoring and Alex Freeman scoring twice in a dominant first half. Diego Luna also scored as the hosts led 4-0 at halftime. Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off in the second half for a high tackle, and Tanner Tessmann added a fifth goal to seal the win. Marcelo Bielsa accepted responsibility for the result, refusing to blame players and criticizing his own management and the use of available resources, saying the performance exposed a significant gap requiring serious criticism of management.
