Uruguay national football team is in the final stretch of its preparation for the 2026 World Cup, and its coach, Marcelo Bielsa, is not mincing words in criticizing the hydration breaks that have become commonplace in matches. 'They don't add anything and take away a lot', Bielsa said in a press conference prior to the match against Cabo Verde. The Uruguayan coach claimed that these breaks are not justified by the high temperatures and have become naturalized in the World Cup without considering the football itself. As time goes on, Bielsa is confident that his team will start like they did after the break in their debut against Saudi Arabia. 'What happened in the second half was totally different', he indicated. Additionally, he defended the choice of Playa del Carmen as the team's concentration location, despite the fact that it involves a trip from Mexico to the United States for the first two matches. 'We couldn't imagine a better place', he said. The match against Cabo Verde will be played this Sunday at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami at 18.00 local time. Bielsa hopes that his team will show the same intensity they showed in the second half of the match against Saudi Arabia. So, the question is, can the Uruguay national football team overcome Cabo Verde and advance in the World Cup? The Uruguayan coach is confident that his team can do it. But, he is also aware that the match will be difficult and that Cabo Verde is a team that can give them problems. In the end, the match promises to be exciting and the Uruguay national football team is ready to give it their all.
