According to Uruguayan radio broadcaster Espectador Deportes, on the eve of the match against Spain, Uruguayan players expressed dissatisfaction with Bielsa and requested that he change his tactics.

According to reports, leaders of the Uruguayan squad asked Bielsa to change his training methods. Federicho Valverde, Rochet, Ugarte and Bentancur met with Bielsa to complain about excessive training load, which they believed was responsible for frequent injuries during the team's preparation.

The players requested a tactical change for the match against Spain, suggesting that Uruguay adopt a defensive counter-attacking strategy. However, Bielsa rejected this proposal, stating he wanted to emulate Spain's style of play.

Bielsa called a team meeting, accusing the players of attempting to remove him. Sources revealed that Bielsa stated the entire squad had previously wanted to remove him after he failed to call up Suárez and Nahitán Nández to the squad for the FIFA World Cup. This meeting lasted 48 minutes.

The atmosphere was tense and the players quickly stopped speaking. Bielsa reportedly stated he had helped players like Cáceres and Maxi Araújo build their careers. These remarks angered some players. Giménez attempted to defuse the situation but failed.

An official from the Uruguayan Football Federation suggested that Bielsa will likely be dismissed soon. He stated that Bielsa will resign as national team coach "within less than a month." Uruguay is currently in a difficult situation and must win to qualify for the FIFA World Cup.
