Gustavo Costas surprised days ago with sharp criticism of Bolivian football and the footballers of the highland country and revealed the deficits of football in this country. The Argentine strategist’s words resonated across South America as he highlighted the lack of work for the national team to qualify for the World Cup. Now a Bolivian leader spoke up and responded with all his might to the former Alianza Lima coach.
Always Ready Club president Andrés Costa spoke to his country’s press and silenced the Bolivian technical director by demanding more work.
“More work and fewer words for the people who come (…) We will not say that we have the best pitches or the best infrastructure, but I think that despite the disadvantages that those who come to to visit Bolivian football, have the capacity.” “It’s a double credit to be able to achieve the goals,” he attacked Gustavo Costas.

Gustavo Costas’ strong statements against Bolivian football
“Everyone is there to criticize. I put up with it, I have no problem. But what are we doing to get to the World Cup? We have to do something. We don’t have places to train.” We have to be honest. I have great faith. As I’ve said from the beginning, on day one, I won’t find any excuses. Everyone tells you: “The Bolivian player is not developing well. You have no competition.” “You have thousands of excuses. That’s it. Fuck it all. Let’s go there and try to improve day by day,” declared Gustavo Costas in a press conference.
