After two months of the elimination of the Uruguay national team in the 2019 Copa America at the hands of the Peruvian national team, yes, Pedro Gallese's miraculous hands to save Luis Suárez's penalty and reach the semifinals of the tournament, the 'Pistolero' spoke about that painful defeat for the Uruguayans.

"Peru was a rival that had played the worst in the Copa. We had quality, players, spirit, we knew each other very well as teammates to be able to win the Copa America," said the 'Pistolero' in an interview with the radio program 'Último al arco' from Uruguayan radio Sport 890.

But that was not all. As everyone remembers, it was Luis Suárez who missed the only penalty for the Uruguayan national team in that memorable shootout for Pedro Gallese, who was the hero of the 'Bicolor' in the quarterfinals. The Barcelona striker revealed the reason why he failed.

"I missed by trying to invent hitting it in a way that I had never hit it before. Missing a penalty is human and there's a family behind that also suffers, you have to pick yourself up," added the Barcelona striker.

However, he clarified that he still has a lot of time left in the Uruguayan national team: "There's still Suárez for a while in the national team. I'm happy that young players keep emerging, with talent, desire, and spirit," he concluded.
