“Today it is not easy for ‘Profe’ Ortega to be Uruguay’s physical trainer in Qatar 2022”, Uruguayan journalist Mauro Mas revealed yesterday on Twitter. A dream that the Atletico physical trainer had, to be able to combine his work at Atlético de Madrid and with the Uruguayan national team in the next World Cup. As it happened during the January break, in which the ‘Profe’ did have that rojiblanco permit to accompany Uruguay in the qualifying matches, key to being or not in the World Cup. The team did it. But, to this day, it seems that that door will never open again.
In the first place because the physical trainer has not asked the club for anything regarding this issue. And, secondly, because when this situation occurred during the break at the end of January, he himself He promised that this would be “a specific and exceptional situation”. That is, without continuity in time. A point and apart. In addition, as AS has learned, the ‘Profe’ “explicitly” mentioned that in no case would he go to the World Cup if they managed to qualify, “because that would prevent him from doing his job”.
“I am not sure that Atlético will leave me”
“It is an immense joy and a satisfaction to return to this land so dear to one, and the possibility of reunion with the family and Uruguayan football”wrote the ‘Profe’ in January, upon landing in his country to be in charge of the charrúa physical preparation for those matches, giving thanks “to Atlético and Cholo for understanding the situation”. A situation that this winter, seems to have been seen since May, will no longer occur. A ‘Profe’ who chewed on it a month ago, when he expressed on ‘Sport 890’ how he felt against Qatar: “I am not sure that Atleti will let me go to the World Cup“. And so it seems. Today.
