<p>On Thursday of last week <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marcelo-bielsa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marcelo Bielsa</a></strong>’s Uruguay put on a masterclass performance against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Argentina</a> and took home a 2-0 win at the famed La Bombonera. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/uruguay" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Uruguay</a></strong> commanded the midfield and reduced Argentina to a static side as the Bielsa press proved very effective.<br></p>



<p>During the match one incident took on a life of its own on social media and that was a gesture of PSG’s <strong>Manuel Ugarte</strong> made to Rodrigo De Paul. In a scuffle between the two sides Ugarte made a gesture using his hand implying in South America that De Paul is a suck up.<br></p>



<p>The gesture has gone viral, and Manuel Ugarte was on Uruguayan sports radio 100% Deporte and spoke about an incident he now regrets.<br></p>



<h2>Manuel Ugarte apologizes for insulting Rodrigo De Paul<br></h2>

<p>Manuel Ugarte stated on 100% Deporte, “<em><strong>When I saw the gesture I said: I’m an animal! The game was tremendous, and I didn’t even realize the gesture I made, in fact I continued playing without thinking about it. When they told me that it had gone viral, I asked: What gesture? He wanted me killed, I already apologized.”</strong></em><br></p>

<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">One of the craziest moments of the match was seeing Manuel Ugarte call Rodrigo De Paul a “mamadera” (bottle feeder) of Messi (while doing a blow job gesture)<br><br>“Mamadera” in Argentina/Uruguay is an insult, implying he’s a suck up<a href="https://t.co/S5W7oeMGUL">pic.twitter.com/S5W7oeMGUL</a></p>— Uruguay Football ENG (@UruguayFootENG) <a href="https://twitter.com/UruguayFootENG/status/1725347389215531083?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 17, 2023</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>The gesture was implied that Rodrigo De Paul has become sort of a Messi “flunky”, Messi after the match had questioned the maturity of Uruguay’s new younger crop of players.<br></p>

<p>Bielsa has led a sort of revolution as the mostly conservative but talented Uruguayan side is now playing a much quicker and fluid passing and attacking game that is custom with Marcelo Bielsa.</p>
