Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 337 Super Confident Uruguay
Zhang Mai was still lamenting his outstanding performance in the National League. When Qian Chengyuan was great, Lippi and the coaching staff had already turned their attention to Uruguay, their opponent in the quarter-finals.

The top 8 of the World Cup have all been produced, and the quarter-finals are about to be staged, and the first matchup is the Chinese team against Uruguay.

Uruguay is a veteran South American team. Together with Brazil and Argentina, they are called the "Three Masters of South America", and their overall strength is higher than that of the Hua Guo team.

Especially in the last 10 years, under the guidance of coach Tavares, Uruguayan football has risen again and has become a force that cannot be ignored in world football.

The core of Uruguay is Suarez, and Godin, Cavani, and Muslera, who have fought together for the country for more than 10 years, belong to the "golden generation".

Uruguay's midfield is led by four Serie A champions: Inter Milan's Vecino, Juventus star Bentancur, Sampdoria's Torreira, and Genoa's midfielder Laxalt.

The Uruguayan team, which is full of discipline and talent, now has a neat lineup, including a striker combination with strong impact, and a midfield combination with experience and hardness. The Uruguayan team in this year's World Cup is worthy of everyone. looking forward to the team.

The rebellious Uruguayans naturally don't take the Hua Guo team seriously. For them, the place in the semi-finals can be said to be at their fingertips.

At the press conference during the training period, Uruguay's core Suarez first talked about his views on the opponent Hua Guo team, and then answered questions with club teammate Messi.

"Hua Guo team is a young team, I mean they rarely participate in the World Cup, so even though they have players like Zhang Mai, they still have to accumulate enough experience, after all we just eliminated Ronaldo and the European champions Portugal."

Speaking of Messi, Suarez said: "After Argentina was eliminated, I communicated with him and I expressed my support for him because we are good friends. He also congratulated me and we are still in the club. World Cup."

Suarez also talked about the penalty against Neymar:

"Everyone knows what kind of player Neymar is. He is powerful and has a gorgeous style of play. The duty of the referee on the spot is to make decisions. Some people like Neymar, and of course some people criticize him. I have not watched the game video , I don’t know if the opponent has brutally violated him.”

Suarez's teammate Cavani is injured. Suarez said that Cavani may not be able to play:
"I know his situation is complicated and it takes a few days to recover from an injury like this, but I understand that he is an aggressive athlete and his desire is to play. His attitude is very firm, but it's all It's not up to him."

Talking about the game against Portugal, Suarez recalled: "The fourth game was better than the first three games. At present, the team only has one yellow card. We are a strong and motivated team, but we will not be malicious to the opponent. Foul, we didn't even get a yellow card for protesting against the referee."

You heard it right, Suarez is proud that his team did not provoke the referee, because in the eyes of Uruguayan players, the referee is always the enemy of Uruguay!

In this World Cup, Uruguay has 90 steals, ranking first. At the same time, the number of Uruguay fouls has reached 103, still ranking first in the overall list.

A successful defensive team must also be accompanied by a fierce style of play. Uruguay, once known as "court garbage", is one of the best.

In the 2010 South Africa World Cup group match, Uruguay 0-0 France, Uruguayan teenager Lodeiro accumulated two yellow cards for fouling French player Sarnia in the game, and was sent off by the referee with a red card. This is the first time in the World Cup A red card.

Coincidentally, in the 1986 World Cup, Uruguay's Jose Batista was sent off for a "sweeping leg" against Gordon Strachan in the game against Scotland, only 54 seconds into the game.

He dared to make such a move in less than a minute after the opening, which shows the vigor in the bones of the Uruguayans.

Unlike Argentina, Brazil and other teams, Uruguay has always played physically. In this World Cup, Uruguay is the best defensive South American team. Before they played against China, they only conceded 2 goal in the 1-1 Portugal game.

Uruguay's solid performance in this World Cup is due to their stable defense, and their fierce tackles are a major feature of them.

With the elimination of Spain, Argentina and other teams, "pass control is dead" has become the fans' impression of this World Cup.

Uruguay, on the other hand, is just the opposite. Relying on a stable defense and a simple and direct style of play, they have successfully reached the top 8. Now they are expected to reach the top four after meeting Hua Guo.

While Uruguay's style of play is admirable, it also makes people think, although the players' actions are bound by the referee.But is the frequent contact and violation with opposing players considered tough or dirty?
At least Zhang Mai, who plays football in the Premier League, knows that Uruguay's body contact is all at the level of Shaolin Kungfu, such as iron sand elbow, scissor kick and Arhat punch, it's too Nima NB!Just before the game between Uruguay and China, Argentine coach Bianchi wrote a column introducing Uruguayan football and the fighting spirit of Uruguayan players.

He said that Uruguayan football is strong because people here regard football as the biggest outlet, and Uruguayan players have 4 balls (referring to courage).

"Uruguay's situation is unique: it's a small country (350 million people), they want to prove their existence, they won the 1930 and 1950 World Cups, they won 2 Olympic titles, 15 Copa America titles and continue to A steady stream of good players."

The former Boca coach pointed out: "Germany produces cars and medicine, and Uruguay produces players. Here, football is more important than anything. It is a way of finding a way out, a way of life or survival."

Speaking of the current Uruguayan team, Bianchi pointed out:

"It's a very realistic, organized team with great central defenders (Godin and Jimenez) and a strong attack (Suarez and Cavani)."

Bianchi finally pointed out the reason why the Uruguayan team has a strong combat effectiveness:

"Their spirit is passed down from generation to generation. No one likes to play against Uruguay. Uruguayan players don't only have 2 balls, they have 4 balls."

In Spanish, eggs represent a man's courage.

Zhang Mai communicated his thoughts with Lippi, and in the end, his determination to continue to go on made the coaching staff come up with a countermeasure.

Uruguay is characterized by being tough in the frontcourt and extremely fierce in the middle and backcourt. The tough task of using violence to control violence naturally falls on Zhang Mai. With the title of "Prince of Storms" who shocked the world with Zhang Mai, at least it will not let Hua The frontcourt of the national team suffers from a sharp blow.

However, the next day there was good news for the Chinese team. Uruguay officially announced Cavani's injury: calf edema, and the recovery period is unknown.

In the top 16 of the World Cup, Uruguay beat Portugal 2-1 to advance to the top 8, but killed [-] enemies and lost [-]. Uruguay's head striker Cavani was injured in the game.

Cavani, who scored twice in this campaign, is the absolute contributor to the team's promotion, but his calf was injured during the game, and his injury has attracted widespread attention from the outside world.

And today, the Uruguayan Football Association officially announced Cavani's injury: the injury is not serious, but the return date is unknown.

According to the information released by the Uruguayan Football Association, Cavani's left calf muscle edema, probably in the left calf.

Fortunately, the muscles were not torn and there were no fractures.But the players are still in pain and it is not yet known whether they will be able to face the next round of the game.

After hearing the news, the Hua Guo team naturally laughed secretly, and Uruguay did not dare to show weakness, and played several sets of flower guns in a row.

The first is to invite the media to visit the team's training, reflecting Uruguay's brisk and relaxed preparation atmosphere, and taking advantage of the opportunity to overwhelm its opponent, the Huaguo team.

Before a quarter-final match between Uruguay and France, Suarez, the soul of the Uruguayan team, was busy preparing for the battle, what else was he busy with?
Suarez will still be the key to Uruguay, Suarez had fun before the game!Play poker + play live to win, but also torment teammates!
Suarez shared two small videos with you in the last 24 hours:

In the first short video, Suarez and his teammate Martin were sitting on the edge of a bed in a hotel room, fighting live football. The moment a goal appeared in the short video, Suarez turned his head and looked at Martin who was sitting quietly, revealing With his signature front teeth, he laughed loudly until his sitting body fell down. At this moment, the score on the screen was Barcelona 2-8 Liverpool, and Suarez was using Liverpool.

In the second small video shared by Suarez, he is sitting relaxed on the sofa with his teammates. The four of them are playing poker, and there are many team members around them, witnessing their poker games war.

Suarez looked at the cards that he gently pushed away, and kept laughing uncontrollably. He threw away the cards in his hand. The moment he won, his teammates who had won the victory with him instantly got up like a goal. Roaring, laughing and hugging, Suarez did not forget to shake hands to appease the loser of the game when the laughter and shouts calmed down a little.

Before a much-anticipated 1/4 battle, Suarez, who was not economical at all, was obviously in a good mood when he kept showing his teeth.

It's a pity that the final effect is relatively average, mainly because the taste of trying to hide is too strong, and Uruguay is a bit self-defeating.

When he attended the press conference before the game, the frustrated coach Tavares was embarrassed by the reporters' questions, and he simply said: I just won't tell you! On July 7, the World Cup will start the top 6 match. The first match will be the match between Uruguay and France. Whether Uruguay striker Cavani can play is undoubtedly a focus, but the Uruguay coach refused to disclose before the match.

Regarding tomorrow's game, Uruguay coach Tabarez said:
"The strength of the Hua Guo team is extraordinary. This is an opponent worthy of respect. The two countries have always been friendly. Tomorrow's game will be two opponents, not two enemies."

Whether Uruguay coach forward Cavani can play is obviously the biggest focus, but Tabarez made it clear on this issue:

"Sorry, I can't reveal anything about Cavani, Cavani's injury, we have sent a lot of news to the outside world."

"But now I'm sure I can't say more about the formation. Tomorrow you'll know who's in and who's out."

Tabarez concluded by saying:
"The Hua Guo team performed well under the leadership of Lippi, but we are confident to beat it, and we will not stop the quarter-finals just because we lose one player!"
