【Qatar World Cup】Uruguay【Full Explanation】

・In December 2021, he was appointed national coach of his native Uruguay.

・With only four sections remaining in the final qualifying round, the team successfully won four consecutive games, moving the team from seventh to third place and leading it to the main tournament.

・By continuing the base established by the previous director and adding his own unique spice, he will be able to fully exploit the potential of his talented team.

・“Absolute Striker who Leaves His Name in The History of Uruguay”

・The main pillar of the front line with the highest number of goals scored in Uruguay history. He compensates for his physical decline with his natural goal sense and experience, and his quality of making a decisive difference in the penalty area is still alive and well. He has good physical contact, good off-the-ball movement and quick ball reactions. It is also a big attraction that the goal pattern is very rich, such as beautiful goals that can not be stopped by GK and unrefined goals that throw the body.

・In addition, he knows how to make the most of his surroundings. A striker who is so versatile and can leave results is rare. At the 2010 South Africa tournament, he used his hands to stop the shot, which became a topic of discussion around the world, and at the 2014 Brazil tournament, he bit Chiellini. This tournament, which will probably be the last, I want to leave a mark as a striker.

・”Scorer with a Natural Sense of Scoring”

・A great striker who has built an era by teaming up with L. Suarez for two solid tops. He possesses all the abilities required of a striker at a high level, including shooting accuracy, aerial combat and heading strength, post work, and positioning in front of goal. What’s more, his great appeal is that he can do anything that is directly linked to the goal, such as counter-attacks, jumping behind the scenes, jumping into crosses, and reacting sharply to a spilled ball.

・With an altruistic mentality, he energetically runs around the front lines. He makes use of his teammates with his off-the-ball movement and works hard with his defensive dedication. In order to adjust his condition, he declined to be called up to the national team in September, and is fully prepared for the World Cup. I would like to show his oxidized silver brilliance on his fourth and probably last big stage.

・”The Next Generation of The World’s Best Strikers”

・”Successor of Suarez & Cavani” who made a big break at Benfica and transferred to Liverpool with much fanfare. He has the unrefinedness in front of the goal that is typical of Uruguayan strikers, and the aggressiveness that is indispensable in modern football.

・In addition to his height, physical strength, and accurate finish, he has a reputation for speed and momentum that can be used on the wing, and his finishing from the cut-in is also a weapon. He can also carry a defender on his back and set up a post play or dribble to create a deciding opportunity. He also excels in long sprints and is a threat on counterattacks.

・The only point of concern is that he refrains from coexisting with Cavani and Suarez and cannot fully demonstrate his original characteristics. This is the first big stage for the national team, attracting attention from all over the world.

・”Uruguayan Monster Bird”

・A “hidden world-class” who possesses unsurpassed talent in both offense and defense. With his inexhaustible stamina and extensive use of the pitch, he gives the team dynamism and continues to make significant contributions in both offense and defense throughout the 90 minutes. He has a greedy personality that does not lose his presence even in difficult situations and tries to solve the situation.

・He has a strong physical ability to capture the ball, and his unstoppable dribbling is his weapon. When he steals the ball from the opponent, he approaches the goal with tremendous propulsion. At Real Madrid, as the right of the top three, he has been given space to unleash his excess horsepower. The occasional low trajectory middle shot has outstanding destructive power and has a high probability of catching the frame.

・”Control Tower”

・A highly skilled and tactically aware register. He can not only set up the game from a low position, but also provide the last pass.

・He is also highly regarded for his ability to practice high-density defense. He brings stability to the team with his technique of retrieving the ball with his long legs, strong physicality and exquisite standing defense, and makes a strong impression on both offense and defense.

・Last season, he joined the Premier League midway through the season, but adapted without difficulty by working with a personal trainer to build his body.

・”Uruguay’s Best DF”

・He combines the tough Uruguayan spirit and ball skills inherited from his Brazilian roots, and plays CB and right back with high quality.

・Intense, fast, and even more overwhelmingly physical, he shows unparalleled strength in defensive and air battles against opponents and is also a scorer with his high scoring head.
