Uruguay had victory in two sticks but had to settle for a draw against tough South Korea

Does he discount a point at the debut? If the fear of the virus “defeat of a great against an exotic rival” is as widespread as it seems, after what happened with Argentina and Germany, Uruguay he won’t regret his premiere too much. Although, it is true, he deserved more.

On the other hand, it’s not entirely fair to put South Korea in that area, given that he is playing his tenth consecutive World Cup. Not missing from Mexico 86. And it’s usually annoying.

The truth is that the Light blue He didn’t force or risk too much, he was a little closer to victory, without exaggerating. Two sticks prevented him.

Uruguay never gives up their weapons, area play and balls, even if they now have a couple of jewels in the middle like Valverde, Bentancur and De Arrascaeta and De La Cruz on the bench. Better, direct play: the truth is in the areas.

So it seems like they’re letting themselves be dominated, they’re waiting for Korea, they don’t mind being fired. They don’t hurt you.

He doesn’t like the ball. If there are corners there is life. The clearest of the first half was Godín header on the post, trademark. Then a finish in Valverde’s space finished with a high left footed shot.

In the second half he tried to free Valverde, as a sort of hitch and to press the start. It didn’t work out for him, the best came with a long but perfect ball from Godín to Núñez, which overflowed but his inside pass was left in the hands of Kim Seunggyu. Then, Valverde’s right foot on the goalkeeper’s right post. Neither Suárez, nor Núñez, nor Cavani managed to overcome the solid Korean defense,

On the other side there were insinuations, with the masked son: its hooks and rods we already know. Nor does the team appear to have much more up front Paul Bento.

Uruguay reached this Cup after finishing fifth in Russia, with five players ready to play in their fourth World Cup and match Pedro Rocha’s record (10 games between 1962, 66, 70 and 74). Martín Cáceres (35 years, 11 games), Diego Godín (36 and 14) and Luis Suárez (35, 13 and seven goals) were regulars. Edinson Cavani (34, 14 and five goals) came on for the Pistolero 18′ into the second half. Fernando Muslera remained on the bench.

There are a mixture of experience that pushes and renewal that Valverde, Bentancur and Núñez represent, above all. We will see a combo still present.

What is Uruguay for? To fight for sure. He should never be left out. Thanks to his style, it seems that he will be able to strengthen against the teams that attack him the most, for example Portugal next Monday.
