Coach Marcelo Bielsa and his team are going through a series of disappointing matches as their attack continues to "fail to score".

In the 10th round of the qualifying roundWorld Cup 2026In South America, Uruguay will host Ecuador at Centenario Stadium (Montevideo). The task for Federico Valverde and his teammates is nothing less than victory.

Unfortunately, things did not go as expected by experts and Uruguayan football fans. Despite dominating the game and having many good chances, the team nicknamed La Celeste still had to accept a 0-0 draw.

Thus, the Uruguayan team has had 4 consecutive matches without scoring any goals, after the match against Guatemala (1-1) in early September. Obviously, the attack of the team that won the World Cup twice (1930 and 1950) is showing alarming harmlessness.

Witnessing the poor scoring performance of their team, Uruguayan football fans are missing Luis Suarez more than ever. It is not an exaggeration to say that the void left by "Su Tho" in the Uruguayan team has not been fully filled by any face.

As Luis Suarez entered the twilight of his career, Uruguayan football welcomed the emergence of Darwin Nunez. However, throughout the past time, the striker born in 1999 has always been in a state of "turning goals into opportunities".

The problem is that at the moment, Uruguayan football is very scarce in good strikers. The "post-Luis Suarez" problem is making coach Marcelo Bielsa miserable. Who knows when the Uruguayan team will have a super "killer" like Luis Suarez?

Remember that after 17 years of dedication to the Uruguayan team, the former Barcelona striker played a total of 142 matches and scored 69 goals. La Celeste's Copa America 2011 championship was greatly contributed by the striker who is currently playing for Inter Miami (USA).

Let's wait and see, who will be the "second Luis Suarez" of the Uruguayan team in the future? A question that is not easy to find an answer. If the Uruguayan team is about to enter a period of decline, it will not be surprising.
