Marcelo Bielsa, the captain of the Uruguayan football team, is also not a fan of the innovation introduced at this year’s World Cup, the three-minute drinking break in the middle of each half.
THE independent of temperature and weather conditions suspension of the game was not an undivided success among the fans either, but financially a huge source of incomewill probably keep the FIFA change, which actually breaks it into four quarters the football matches.
“The fact that there are four halves instead of two changes our concept of the cultural interpretation of football. This cultural change does not add anything, but takes away a lot” – Bielsa saidaccording to whom the personality of football was completely different before the introduction of drinking breaks than after. Bielsa emphasized that he is not against innovations, he welcomes the video referee and similar technologies, but breaks do not bring opportunities like technical innovations.
Uruguay, who played a 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabia in their first match, will continue their match against Cape Verde, which also started with a draw and held the Spanish national team scoreless, starting at 0:00 Hungarian time on Monday.
