The tears of a warrior. Jose Maria Gimenez could not hold back his tears in the match where Uruguay lost to the France national team. The Uruguayan defender was one of the most affected by the second goal of the European team, and he showed it on the field.
The action took place around the 43rd minute of the second half when the South American defender had to join the wall due to a free kick in favor of the French team, which was going to be executed by Antoine Griezmann.
Gimenez, 23 years old, is one of the players from the Celeste team who will surely have a chance for redemption in a future World Cup, but the hope that had been created around this group made him express his helplessness for being behind in the scoreline.
The player shared many joys, in the dressing rooms of Atletico Madrid, with Antoine Griezmann, but he never thought he would experience such a sad moment at the hands of the French forward, who was the one who 'sealed' the match with the second goal.
