- Reactions to Uruguay Head Coach Marcelo Bielsa’s post-match comments after the Uruguay vs Brazil game sparked discussions on whether football is becoming less attractive. The conversation also explored how modern methods of consuming football might be impacting its overall appeal and whether we can observe a distinct identity from any current teams or players.

Bielsa doesn’t prioritize money. While he does charge market rates, he has shown his commitment by donating $3M to his club, Newell’s, to improve infrastructure for younger players and divisions. He truly walks the talk! It’s unfortunate that these two commentators, who know nothing about Bielsa or his style of football, dare to criticize him. Bielsa’s mindset is always about winning, regardless of the team’s limitations. Some games might not be thrilling for all viewers, but true fans appreciate their team’s relentless effort and hard work.
One thing that Bielsa pointed out, and few people have understood, is that South America and south american fans have lost their stars. Our modern stars on the most part haven´t played in our countries. A young player breaks thru in an under 17 South American Cup and they are sold, or maybe have 6 great months with their club and they are sold to Europe. That even occurred with Messi years ago, some Argentinians said he was too spanish. In the stories our granparents and parents told us, our stars played in our clubs and our stadiums and created history for us; and now we only can see then on the TV. In that way we have lost that part of our futbol culture.
It happens thats business and sadly football is dying because it chooses business over the good of the sport or the cultures around it .
It all goes to corruption in South America where we can't keep good players. Pay in South America was never higher than Europe, but there was more glory on winning a Copa Libertadores because as Bielsa said, the talented players would stay longer before being exported to Europe.
And the more talented players leave at a young age, there is less glory to compete with the money from Europe.
My proposal... push for National team tickets to be bought with National team fan coins, that way, the ticket "money" will not be used on other external investments... "coima", "cutra"
@@renatoespinoza1066 It's just because there's more money in Europe, and a safer, cleaner, more attractive life in Europe LMAO
Look at all the manufacturers and sponsors - who are the Latin American companies? None.
Is there that much money in places like Uruguay and Argentina and Brazil in the same way as Europe? Nope.
@ScrewyDriverTheMan we're all saying the same thing. The money is fuelling the sport but killing the spectacle.
He's right and chelsea is a prime example of his argument, they buy all these young players for big money instead of letting them develop in their home leagues and expect them to be the best players immediately. Then if the player is not as good as they were expecting instead of actually developing the talent, they get rid of the players
Not only has capitalism high-jack football but you can't even watch on t.v for free like in 90s.
We still miss him at Leeds 😢😢
He’s talking about how Copa is being held in the U.S. for the cash grab. Poor fields and more concerns about ticket sales than the actual product on the pitch. Federations still all about money
He's talking about it being less pleasant not in the spirit of the beautiful game. The atmosphere of huge stadiums, more people, more games is not what the sport is about. It's not a game made for poor neighborhoods from great players of old.
This is why the MLS is becoming so attractive for South American players. Please watch LAFC vs LA Galaxy game. So many 1v1 situations that were free flowing counter attacks, it just made for a real Fun and entertaining game to watch. The MLS allows players to showcase there skills because of the DP rule. Building from the back line doesn't work in the MLS for most teams. 80K backline vs 20 million front line.
You are 1000% correct! I watched MLS games last year and this year more than I have watched football in a long time. The tournament between MLS and Liga Mexico were fun. Their games felt much more open than you would think for a league that doesn't have the same amount of upper echelon players like Europe does. I find MLS games more satisfying to watch, which sounds crazy.
Football definitely feels as though it is losing something that makes it special to me as a fan. The business side of the game is the first thing that is changing it; loyalty is a quality that made the game beautiful and created story lines and drama. Nowadays we as fans expect the better players to leave, there is no drama when they do because it is expected and no emotion or sentiment.
The other thing is that the game of football is becoming mundane. Maybe it is just me, but every game feels as though teams would rather play to not concede instead of playing for football to be entertaining. I understand this is probably the best way of winning, so in a way you can't blame managers for wanting to do this, but it takes away the risk and reward, the ups and downs throughout a game, and makes a goal that bit less sweet.
A game of football is a story to me, the greatest one I ever watched was Leeds United vs Derby County when Marcelo was manager of Leeds. We lost the game and did not make it to the play-off finals in Wembley, but I was totally invested in every Leeds player on that pitch, the comradery they showed and every risk they took, even the ones that led to Derby scoring. This is the football I love... this got pretty deep.
Interesting enough , the exciting fast style of play has shifted to Asia , specificaly South Korea and Japan. They are now carrying the torch for attractive football.
I think the South American game has suffered to the European allure. I think that's what he's referring to.
Hypocrite. He talks about football getting ugly straight after his team literally kicked Brazil off the pitch. What's worse is his cringeworthy moaning.
The interview was days BEFORE the Uruguay vs Brasil match.
Hypocrite is exactly right. Uruguay is a talented team that played anti football against Brazil.
Blame Pep. He has ruined the game. No creatives respected. Low block defences. Lateral crossing. Players afraid to dribble. Nobody dribbles. No one is allowed unless you’re a winger. It’s gross and you should all be ashamed of yourselves for it seeing this obvious decline in the game.
If futbol is boring - the next gen won't watch.
If national teams have no identity - no connection to international trams.
The game is managing risk so one day we'll have a manager that takes risks and wins. Winning is what leads change.
Bielsa moans that money will ugly up football immediately after his Uruguay played the ugliest match in international history. 45 fouls, at least half of which were "tactical" fouls yet didn't receive a single yellow until something like the 35th. *Then* Nandéz tries to break Rodrigo's ankle. *And it didn't stop then!*
I'll hope Columbia takes Bielsa out, and then I can watch the final. But I have no interest at all in watching Uruguay again.
Well he's only playing within the rules that FIFA has setup. He's known for his highly offensive teams and FIFA would benefit way more if the game were to be opened up. As it stands, defenders have an advantage against offensive players and this is something that you do not see in other team sports.
The irony is that Persistent Infringement was established to protect skill players, but FIFA refuses to apply that law or even talk about why that is the case.
It’s not Columbia it’s COLOMBIA 🇨🇴 🇨🇴 and we are going to win it all UNDEFEATED 🔥🔥🏆🏆
If that's the case that is fifas fault not bielsa.
The interview was DAYS BEFORE the Uruguay vs Brasil match.
Football has become less interesting since almost every club or academy is obsessed with this type of structured football, total football, tiki taka or whatever. players are required to play simple. being too long with the ball and the coach will "kill you". that's where the extinction of creativity in football began. don't dream of seeing Ronaldinho, R9 or Zidane or any above average player with the ball. So, enjoy this "modern" football
1,000,000% FACTS
Today’s game is so boring to watch. It’s a boring side-to-side systematic passing. No one wants to shoot from outside the box, no one has the skill to take on players, NO ONE in today’s game is a Living Legend…
Where are players that relate to Pelé, Maradona, Zidane, R9 Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, prime Messi and Prime Cristiano Ronaldo?
I believe Football got boring after 2018.
The Champions League carries no weight.
The Euro has no weight.
The Balon d Or has the weight
What Vini and Belllingham did this year, wouldn’t even be nominated for the Balon d Or if they played in the 2000’s…
You just have to be mediocre in today’s game.
The era of the creative number 10 seems to be concluding. Excluding Messi and Ronaldo, who are nearing the end of their careers, which players electrify the crowd every time they touch the ball? Normally, Mbappé would be that player, but he's currently playing with a broken nose. Spain's duo, Nico and Lamine, have been impressive. However, it appears that the current landscape is dominated by robotic, academy-style players lacking any flair for the game.
It's true everything has become motized. Soccer is supposed to express life and expression of culture. And now it's all about systems. Athletes are not players....the one vs one is gone. There will be no more Messi, CR7, Maradona, and Valderam, it's all Tactics and technique. The system doesn't really allow for freeplay. The creativity of a player is now looked upon as selfish play. What about the wins? The results are not the style of play. We have better athletes, but we don't have better creative players. If soccer's a romance, the creative players are the flirts. What's romance without a little flirting. Established old relationship safe play marriage...lol There's no thrill when you know exactly where you're supposed to be and where the ball is going to land.
I agree! This is why there is no more John Bonito!
5:44 cheap-shot, ad hominem statement by Meola. Exemplifies why many that love and understand the sport and its history don't listen to US commentators like him.
Money money money!!!!!
Bielsa is complaining about how the business strips countries of their stars at young ages, but what was the question that initiated the tangent? Was someone in the media asking why there are so many fouls from his team? Why it was so ugly? Why he didn't allow a more flowing match, especially since Brazil's midfield is so dysfunctional right now.
Apparently, this interview was before the Brazil game.
I agree, business has ruined the beauty of how the game is played. When I see South American teams play, I feel like I'm watching a team from Europe. When I was younger, there was something special about Argentina's style and especially Brazil's style. When Brazil played, everyone watched because they had such a distinctive style. Now, they play a more disciplined, European style. USA had a hard work win at any cost style, Mexico had finesse and grit. And South America was just a whole other world of style. Nowit all looks the same. Cantona addressed this in his Joga Bonito commercials almost 20 years ago.
The essence of South American futbol is lost by the business side of futbol. Having players leave at 16 and 17 when back in the day they left in their early 20s is where he’s going with this. The young players now days play different because that’s what sells, European futbol has always been more vertical and fast and less about building a play from the back
Ronaldo left for Europe when he was 18, the problem is the players produced in the past 10 years have been coached out of playing freely
I'm sure the third guy from the left knows about european football before 2012 or so as much as I know about him
No clue who he is
Bielsa is correct! The game is no longer a cultural reflection of the country that players come from. It has nothing to do with exciting players. Rather it's a cultural reflection, identity, etc. now all teams play the same style from the club systems. And Uruguay has played the best balanced football this Copa, then next is ironically, Canada. Uruguay will likely win the Copa! Vamanos el Loco!
