Zalazar praises Forlan's approach, says new Uruguay coach understands players better

Uruguay midfielder Rodrigo Zalazar has praised new national team coach Diego Forlan, saying he understands what players need better than his predecessor Marcelo Bielsa. Zalazar acknowledged his gratitude to Bielsa but suggested the former Manchester United striker brings a more accessible coaching style.

Forlan, who took over the Uruguay national team, has adopted a different philosophy compared to Bielsa's more traditional approach. Zalazar's comments reflect growing comfort among players with Forlan's methods and his ability to connect with the squad.
