It is difficult to see two more opposite images at the same time. It was seen during the match that Uruguay and Brazil They played in Las Vegas, corresponding to the quarter-finals of the Copa América in the United States, in which the Uruguayan team ended up winning the penalty shoot-out after the 0-0 scoreline in regulation time.
Everything happened in the moment before the penalty kick. Tense moments. And what is happening in both teams? In Brazil, all the players form a circle to discuss how the shoot-out will be (who will take the shot, the order of the shots…). Dorival Junior is left out. He is seen timidly trying to intervene without success. It seems that he has no part in the important conversation.
On the other side of the bench, the group formed by the Uruguayan players is completely different. The group is the same, but in the centre is Marcelo Bielsa, who is the leader. Everyone listens to the coach. Two teams, two sensibilities.

“A bunch of divas leaving their coach out…well, we already saw how it went for them…”, comments one. “My heart breaks for Dorival,” says another. “What coach raises his hand to speak????? He should have moved the players, gone to the centre and spoken…the lack of leadership is obvious,” writes a third.
