In the World Cup qualifier between Uruguay and Peru, Uruguay suffered a sorry defeat with a score of 0-1. After the match, defender Ugarte, who made his debut in the match, candidly expressed his feelings and opinions.
Ugarte said that the match was not a good one for Uruguay, and he regretted that the team did not play as well as they should have. He mentioned that despite the warm and positive atmosphere in the dressing room before the game, the team gradually lost their form during the game and failed to show their strength. Ugarte believes that every player has the ability to play and has the condition to play, but it takes time to adapt after the change of personnel, which is not an excuse, the team's performance has really slipped.
Speaking about his performance, Ugarte said that he feels good in possession, but as a defender, he lacks something. He understands the importance of the defender position and his shortcomings in the position, but he also said that these are things that can make a player grow.
Uruguay are currently playing their World Cup qualifiers during the International Match Day, and after the loss to Peru, their upcoming matches have become even more important. Ugarte said that the team needs to analyze the loss in more depth and learn from it. He emphasized that despite the difficulties, Uruguay must continue to work hard and prepare for the upcoming matches.
For Tuesday's match against Ecuador, Ugarte said that his team will do their best to get a win. He believes that through continuous efforts and reflections, Uruguay can gradually find its form and achieve better results in the World Cup qualifiers.
