THREAD: Oscar Washington Tabarez. And me.

One of my running themes on here is how profoundly contradictory Uruguay truly is. Here's another example. Oscar Tabarez is the biggest single reason I live here. Yes, really!

Yet I've also been desperate for him to go for 9 years now.
The reason I live in Uruguay is because I fell in love with their national team at Wembley in May 1990.

A game I went to anticipating 1986-style thuggery; yet watched utterly enthralled by the sheer gentleness of Uruguay's play. It was like football from another age.
I wasn't even 12 yet, but was already obsessed with football and unusually observant and analytical. I felt like I was watching a team from the 1950s; it was unique, different. Special.

And the reason for their play was, 100%, Tabarez. Back then, an aesthete. An idealist.

El Observador culpa a los jugadores, no al entrenador.
Es increíble pensar que los medios uruguayos solían ser increíblemente duros con todos los directivos de la Celeste. Ahora, es un chiste cómo le permiten salirse con la suya.

Además, ¡piensa que la ausencia de De La Cruz fue la principal razón de la derrota! Por favor. 🤡🤡🤡

Si Tabarez tuviera huevos, habría dejado en el banquillo a Suárez y habría construido el equipo en torno a Valverde. No hizo ninguna de las dos cosas.
Todo el 'análisis' ve síntomas. Ignora la causa.

La razón por la que los jugadores jóvenes "no están a la altura" es el entrenador. Todos los equipos de fútbol son una extensión de la personalidad del tecnico.
