Modesty, discretion, respect, humility, balance, are some of the innumerable words with which, in the long run of these 15 years, he defined a Oscar Washington Tabárez.
With the passing of time, the concepts will change. In the first years we refer to futuristic terms. Hoy se ganó un respeto desd otro lugar. A phrase from Jorge Valdano is the most eloquent example. Refer to aspects of education: “Tabárez is very concerned about educating the male as educating the judge. Never overdo it, never try to create a scene”.
El Loco Marcelo Bielsa the definition defined: “It has the discretion, without the need to impress with its own modes of argument.”. The President José Mujica lo alabó expressing: “Saber ganar sabe cualquiera, el problema es mantener compostura y dignidad cuando se pierde, y eso tiene un valor tremendo”.
Here goes to the master: the opinion of a prime minister, the judges who pass by his trial and the march from the outside.
Marcelo Bielsa
“Maestro Tabárez is a great representative of the Uruguayan or, at least, of those values that attribute the Argentines to our lives: equilibrium, common sense, sincerity, modesty. It has the discretion, without the need to impose its motives on its arguments. Convenience is extremely convenient for what you propose and support. It is a reference figure that privileges the sincerity of descending demagoguery, defeating certainty without supporting distance ”.

José Mujica, President of Uruguay
“The lesson that we have given Tabárez to the following work, to the collective work, to the humiliation and the humiliation. Now we are increasing, always listening to the collective formation and the effort that we have to follow. We do not submit to the adversaries being hypercritical.In Uruguay we are hypercritical of all, and there is never a taboo in a destructive act for a person.No we have.In some cases there is some error that cometim, is, another, but never destructive to anyone. For me, this is an example. Tabárez’s activity states that it will have a collective backbone. And the first ones who tend to learn from the politicians, by supuesto. We will learn no lessons from Tabárez’s activities and we will be very happy. . If there are any, there will be explanations of derrotas by this lad. And there is something interesting about the pinta enter. Have a tradition in the Uruguayan Association, the charrrua and quite successful game, and so no cor re with Tabárez. Do you remember the launch? No! Do we remember the language of song? Yes! And I think I’ve lost some of the most difficult things I have in life. Because saber ganar sabe cualquiera, el problema es mantener compostura y dignidad cuando se pierde, y eso tiene un valor tremendo. And he too has been framing to sembra this idea: it is a sport, not a war, giving the real value that the things have. To sum it up: for me there is a Master with a mouse “.

“Every football player intends to complete the season, launch the sporting event and, most importantly, take a break. In the long run of my career and thanks to the effort, constancy and dedication can obtain many logos and distinctions as personal as groups. But most of all the prizes, the legacy and that one day in the spirit is the most important. For this reason, there is one of the main principles of the selection process that Maestro Tabárez has been in since 2006, it is unpaid. All the lives of the Eliminators, the 2007 World Cup, the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, where they have been the most footballing moment, become champions of Argentina in Argentina in 2011, the 2013 World Cup, the Brazilian World Cup van 2014 … accumulated a lot of life and lost friends. In fact, it is a feeling of satisfaction for those who are deported, especially for those who live in the Uruguayan people. Revive the love of selection and fanaticism that pervades all generations, is definitely impossible. The great man in charge of this truck is the one who will take care of Tabárez. Because we change everything, give us new ideas, express a pressure that persecutes in Uruguay from years ago, creates a group, excludes values and, by doing so, logs that players play one game against each other. The new years in those who work for the Master as leader, mark without doubt a great learning ”.

“It’s a type of honesty that does not double its convictions either night and night. Tabárez apunta a un objective and no lo mueven las chiquitas que se manejan en este pais. Si vos tenés honestidad, convection, organization, intelligence, projection al futuro y pretendés que the values are the most important, the pods can translate to other ambitions. He has the idea of translating this message to the people and he has followed it. In the Celeste Complex he has seen and advertised in order to build a Semitic to the parilla and that the players are not allowed, because the shoes are decent enough to sleep, because the dog is in conditions, because there is no bar in the entrance of the cars, because the ladles are not spun, because the internet works. “It’s very serious, frontal and straightforward, of talking words, but just. It’s difficult to say anything more than to learn a concept. But I have to listen.”

Jorge Valdano
“The first person to live the banner of normality is the master Tabárez, a sympathetic leader. When a group of players finds themselves, host a power show, the only medium of acceptance acceptable to them is based on knowledge and a strict sense of justice. Y la justicia solo’s puede gives a journey of the meritocracia. Tabárez is the incarnation of the typical Uruguayan and knows the human and professional qualities of its players as well as more than 12 years old in its cargo. Tabárez is very concerned about educating the male as educating the judge. Never sobreactúa, never busca create a scene: the best example of his son’s speeches of the derrota in France: ‘this sueño has ended, otros vendrán’. Football in the place that corresponds in society. This Uruguay is the organ of its football history and its way of playing the game. If it is dispensed with at all: it can be enough to win, but it is enough to know that it has no reproaches or reproaches ”.

“If there is any doubt that defines the epoch that has the same number. For our side is a Master. What he generates, this respect, his tranquility, for us and for him, is what he learns and what he transmits to the group. It’s a mix of sabiduría, tranquilidad, saber that decides at the right moment. At the moment the most iodiney tener has this word just to transmit trust and all the truck has side as. It all has pink color, it has high heels, but it always has the right palates. The Master is more than a trainer for us, he is a model of values. And it’s what we’re actually identified, we’ve respected, that we’ve been talking about since we were so young. ”

“Being a professor of life, explaining the football of the perfect form, the exact details, explaining the parties and how to do it, giving clear ideas and concepts. The best coaches you can do. On the other hand, it is very open, for example to me Josema. Always me habla, always with a sonrisa, even though it is normal, but a person I can wear all ”.

“I’ve a sense of relevance, organization, development, methodology, compromise, responsibility, adhesion, coming up with an idea that you like or not is clear, concise what you are defending, what is the shirt that you are giving and giving, to me transforms into the most important, is the process in general lines. Consequently, as far as the use of reason is concerned in football, there has never been a level of selection, which has always been criticized and which has not been taken into account as something fruitful for Uruguayan football and the Maestro, against wind and sea, lo pudo consolidar. Estando is as coach pasaron cinco presidents of the AUF. Normally these processes are followed by reviews, by each president and five other coaches. He wrote something incredible in this aspect. Despatches the sports results, which are what mark the story. Many years ago we were a young champion, we were always in all the worlds under 20, we had a continuation in the sub 17 and the level of mayoral election we were in the third worlds, we were between the best of the world with Germany, Holland and Spain , and there was a Copa America ”.

‘This is a person I want to allow to do the trasmite. In the presence of much. It brings a sensation that you are paralyzed along with a person who, if you do not know it, is transmitting a quantity of such great things, that you want to feel very good. He and all the technical team. If a trainer with what, after each trip to Montevideo or any other convocator, has a new concept. With some. Futbolístico, concepts of life, of sports in sí. This is the life that transmits the teachings and draws points. Y el Maestro lo hace ”.

“What the Maestro and the Technical Corps have in mind is that it has regulated the theme of selections. Geen sólo para elambo del deport sino también para la sociedad de Uruguay nie. The people are identified, they are part of the thinking that they will live on. Plant a project where you can read and be fruitful. I’m part of this process. At the moment they are playing in the juveniles as well as other players who come in less than Sub 15. Hicieron todo the process and so much has not happened. He is always preoccupied with the young people, his most important are the young people that the mayor, from being the protagonists, work well with them, impose them, he can be seen by the juvenile selections, always classifying the worlds, always the protagonist mayor ”.

“Usted is an inspiration and is not compromised. It is very difficult to find a professional with any such longevity, with any respect that he has. And this is the theme, mainly, for one reason: the great professionals do not come at any cost, they come at the expense of the scale of moral and educational values ”
