Preview: Uruguay Vs Ecuador
Only three points separate the two sides on the qualification table:
The problems for Marcelo Bielsa continue as his team are winless in their last four matches. Uruguay were one of the favourites to win the 2024 Copa America. But ever since their exit from the tournament at the hands of Colombia, they have looked like a shell of their former self. It seems like Bielsa has completely lost the trust of the players.
La Celeste’s all-time leading goalscorer, Luis Suarez retired from the national team recently and criticized Bielsa’s leadership during the summer tournament. After the controversy, Bielsa himself admitted that Suarez’s comments did affect his authority as the manager and it seems he was right.
Ecuador on the other hand are fifth in the qualification table just one point behind the mighty Brazil. In their nine games so far, La Tri have registered four wins, three draws, and two losses. Under the leadership of Sebastián Beccacece, Ecuador are building a very exciting project with many talented youngsters. We saw a glimpse of their potential in the Copa America as they took world champions Argentina to penalties in the quarterfinals.
