Bielsa has absolutely lost his mind with Uruguay's elimination. Now, losing 1-0 to Spain is no disgrace, they are favourites, but the chaos started way before a ball was even kicked. On the eve of the match, Valverde, Bentancur and Ugarte, the real leaders in that squad called Bielsa for a private meeting. It complained about the training sessions and asked to play a low block against Spain, hitting on the counter. Any football professional knows this is normal, experienced players talking to their coach, but Bielsa lost it completely. He called the entire squad and spoke for 50 minutes. Accusing players of trying to get him sacked because he didn't bring Luis Suarez to the World Cup. Then we get to the game, he refused to sit back, and Uruguay were actually decent in the first half, but Maslera let in an absolute howler. Bielsa hooks him at half time, fine, but 10 minutes into the second half, he drags off Valverde, the star of the team, exactly one of the men who asked for that meeting. That is not a tactical substitution, that is revenge. It is personal. In a must-win World Cup match, you do not take off your best player because of a grudge. And the final straw post-match interview, he gets annoyed with the journalist for taking too long and screams at her to hurry up. This man has completely lost control. His sacking is already certain in Uruguay, and rightfully so. The real question now is, who is brave enough to take over this complete circus?
