Bielsa after draw against Cape Verde: 'The errors are always the coach's responsibility'

Marcelo Bielsa, Uruguay's coach, accepted full responsibility for the team's 2-2 draw against Cape Verde in the World Cup. He acknowledged that organizational errors are always the coach's burden, emphasizing that despite the goals conceded, Uruguay should have secured a victory.

"We should have won it even with the goals we conceded," Bielsa stated in a press conference. He avoided external excuses, pointing to tactical misalignments as a factor. The Argentine strategist stressed the importance of the upcoming match against Spain, deeming it an unavoidable necessity for Uruguay to progress in the tournament.

"We have to play against Spain with the need and obligation to beat them. It's a very big challenge for all of us," Bielsa affirmed. He sees the match as a chance for redemption for his squad, concluding with confidence, "In no way do I believe we cannot face that match without any aspirations."
