The illusion of fans of National team of Uruguay see Luis Suarez raising the South American Cup It didn’t last long and nothing. There were two defeats, in Montevideo and in Brazil, against an inspired Atlético Goianiense who beat overall and made it to the semifinals. The ‘Gunman’ entered from the bench in both engagements, but he could not do anything to reverse the series.
And now the great unknown arises: what will become of Suárez’s future between now and November, when he joins the Uruguayan team to play the World Cup. Because yes, the Uruguayan will continue at Nacional but without international friction in between. With the team out of the South American, the ‘Bolso’ should aim for the Closure Yet the AUF Cup.
In the national tournament, where Suárez has so far scored his only goal since the return to Uruguayan football, Nacional have won one of their two matches. Three points for Pablo Repetto’s teamwho will be visiting Liverpool at the Belvedere Stadium next Sunday – 10 thousand fans enter –. For now the wet attacker against Rentistas. Will you repeat the weekend?

This closing tournament, of which only three dates have been played so far, will see its closure at the end of October, for this reason in Montevideo they still dream of seeing the ‘Pistolero’ raise his glass with the Nacional jacket. Also, you can shout champion of the Uruguayan championshipwhich sees the winner of a series between the champions Clausura and Apertura against the leader of the Annual Table.
So what are the rivals that Nacional have left? As mentioned above, Liverpool are next. And at the end of the month the classic against Peñarol will arrive. Suárez has played three times against Carbonero and scored only one goal.

Among the fields you will visit, the following stand out: Plaza Colonia 50th anniversary park, in which just 3,500 spectators enter; the River Plate Saroldi Park, which still sports wooden planks on its stands; and the Capurro de Fenix Stadiumintended for just over 5,000 people.
Another long-awaited duel, which could take place at the Saroldi or even at the Centenario, is against Albion of Montevideo, a pioneering Uruguayan football club that is playing its first season in the First Division in 113 years. This game has a “plus”: Albion is the only team that challenges the dean of Uruguayan football in Nacional and Peñarol.

The ‘Gunslinger’ will close the cloister in the Gran Parque Central, before Danube, but at the same time will put a token in the brand new AUF Cup, which in 2022 holds its first edition. Teams like Sarandi Bocca Grandeor Paso de la Arena social and sports centeramong others. FC Porongoanother who had a chance to advance in the match was disqualified in the last few hours due to the poor inclusion of a player.
As for the Zone that integrates the Nacional, which has already been designed, it can be mentioned that it has been called the South / Metropolitan Zone.

Already in the semifinals the highlight of the race could be given. On the other side of the key appears Peñarol, who shares the central / coastal area with other candidates for the title, such as Plaza Colonia or Boston River. In the round of 16, the “Carbonero” can challenge Laureles de Fray Bentos, Colón de Montevideo, Los Halcones or Sportivo Barracas de Dolores.
Already in a hypothetical final, the ‘Bolso’ would meet the winner of the duel between the winners of the North Zone and the East Zone.

The champion will win $ 10,000 and the final will be played at the Centenario Stadium on Sunday 11 November.
