In the prelude to the friendly Uruguay National Team will play against Costa Rica at the end of May, Marcelo Bielsa He surprised everyone with a controversial decision, very faithful to his style.
The Argentine coach reserved a place in the squad for Walter Dominguez, an amateur scorer who is living an unbeatable present in Juventud Soriano, of the Uruguayan Interior.
At 24 years old, the forward did not debut in the First Division, nor did he play as a boy for Nacional or Peñarol, but he has enough reasons to have attracted Bielsa’s attention: comes from becoming champion of the OFI National Team Cup (Inland Football Organization) and has 57 goals in 39 games between clubs and the departmental team.
An average of 1.4 points per presentation. Much better record than that of Darwin Núñeza Liverpool striker who is a fixture in the Celeste.
Although it was believed to be a “rumor”, last weekend Domínguez himself confirmed contact with the Loco. “They called me and I am very happy”, he assured after the 2-1 defeat against Nacional de Fray Bentos. And he added: “I did not expect it. She fell by surprise, I am very happy.”

It is worth noting that the friendly against Costa Rica scheduled for next May 31 at the National Stadium will be played by the local team, that is, a team of players who compete in Uruguay. Among them will be Walter Domínguez, Loco Bielsa’s new bet.
