Uruguay's national team, under manager Marcelo Bielsa, is aiming for the 2026 World Cup, but the road to getting there is extremely difficult. Coach Bielsa has avoided the cameras from the start of the tournament and is now facing the threat of early elimination. Uruguay must pick up at least one point in their next game against Spain after draws with Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde. This situation shows that manager Bielsa's management was not appropriate for the team. Bielsa acknowledged his own tactical failures and said, ``All mistakes in the organization go back to the manager.'' Uruguay also struggled with a lack of decisiveness, as they managed 27 shots against Saudi Arabia but ended in a 1-1 draw. Bielsa has also been criticized for his selection of players, including the use of Fide Valverde as a right winger. Discord within the team was also symbolized by Luis Suarez's criticism of Bielsa's management of players. Uruguay have now been without a win for eight months, and doubts have been raised about Bielsa's ability as a manager.
