According to ESPN, Lucas Torreira discussed Uruguay's FIFA World Cup elimination.

Lucas Torreira, who plays for Galatasaray, directly addressed the poor relationship between coach Marcelo Bielsa and the team regarding Uruguay's elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In an interview with Canal 10's "Punto Penal," he said: "He came with the perspective of wanting to do his best for Uruguay, but we didn't mesh well with him. We need to understand that we are a small country with great character, and when someone comes here with certain ways, it's hard for us to accept them. Many of his methods were not well received."

Torreira had little opportunity to play for the national team under Bielsa and also discussed his interactions with the coach. He said: "I can say this because I experienced it firsthand. I was with the team for a short period, and there was little contact with him. Everything was difficult, and I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped. It's regrettable because everyone had high expectations at first, but everything that happened after that was heartbreaking. There were also teammates I didn't get along with, and he brought instability to the World Cup."

Regarding Uruguay's overall performance in the tournament, Torreira expressed sadness about the team's early elimination. He said: "Most people thought we would go all the way to the final match and see who would top the group, and everyone hoped Uruguay would advance. Of course, since I wasn't part of the team and don't like bothering people, I didn't want to contact anyone, so I don't know much. We've been eliminated in the group stage in two consecutive World Cups. But I prefer to maintain a respectful attitude because I'm sure my teammates were very sad and suffered a big shock."

Speaking about Fernando Muslera and Nández, Torreira said he has always stayed in touch with Muslera because he greatly respects and admires him, especially considering what happened to him in this World Cup and his age. Torreira said: "I've always stayed in touch with Fernando because I respect and admire him. Especially considering what he went through in this World Cup and his age. Those who know him understand that despite the difficulty, he will handle this situation well."

He also commented on Bielsa's decision not to select Nández, who had been a key player for much of the qualification campaign. Torreira said: "This surprised most people. Nández is a key player and a very important midfielder. He played in almost every World Cup qualifier, and we hope they will explain their reasoning clearly someday."

Finally, Torreira discussed Uruguay's future and expressed his desire to be part of the next national team project. He said: "Now is the time to reconsider many things and find a coach who understands our country, our history, and how to adapt to our players, so we can start competing again. This should be a lesson and experience for the future so we don't make the same mistakes again. I hope to be part of it in the future and feel the desire to wear this uniform again."
