In typical Bielsa fashion, the outspoken coach launched a tirade after the incident, arguing his player’s reaction to abuse from the Colombia fanbase was justified and essentially human nature:
“The only thing I can tell you is that the players reacted like any other human being would. If you see that there’s a process to keep what happened from happening. If you see that if what happened happens anyway, and that there’s supposedly another process — an escape hatch, let’s say — and both things fail, and you see your woman, or your mother, or a baby, being attacked, what would you do? You’d ask whether they’re going to punish the people who defended themselves?”
The former Lille manager was generally displeased during the tournament, slamming the US and CONMEBOL for their organisation of the Copa America during a tense press conference at the end of the competition.
