"Helping The World DISCOVER THE WAY of LOVE!"
Since taking up the Bolivia hotseat in late August, Julio Cesar Baldivieso has set about trying to do his bit for the regeneration of Bolivian football. To this end, the former playmaker, a prominent figure in the squad that featured at the 1994 FIFA World Cup USA?, fifa 16 coins is drawing on several of the attributes that he showed as a player. Chief among them is his force of character, which translates into an ability to make important decisions and the conviction to follow them through.
Against this backdrop, Baldivieso's remarks after La Verde kicked off their Russia 2018 qualifying campaign with a 2-0 loss at home to Uruguay should not have come as much of a surprise: "I've got to apologise to people across the country if their excitement has been dashed, but we have to keep our feet on the ground. We'd warned that this is a process and that you can't expect results overnight. Be patient with us," he said.
Baldivieso's comments may have raised some eyebrows as such candid self-criticism is not exactly the norm in the football world. However, the 43-year-old spoke equally frankly following the 7-0 friendly drubbing by Argentina in the first match of his reign, which he branded "shameful". "I don't find it at all tough to say that I'm ashamed, or to lay bare the state of the game in the country," the coach told FIFA. "I've always been upfront, I don't weigh my words to look good. I speak my mind at all times and it hasn't worked out too badly for me."
