Perhaps the most attractive match of the first phase unintentionally. The Russian team, which against all odds is in the first place of Group A of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, faces the celeste Suárez and Cavani in a more than attractive match, closing the group stage for the participants of the group A.
And this statement is not far from reality. Neither the
fans, nor the coach, nor the players expected to win the first game with a
five-goal thrashing against Saudi Arabia far from it, winning their second
match by three goals to one against Egypt. If we consider that the previous
results that Russia had been
accumulating were quite poor, we should be surprised by the goals they have
achieved so far and that against Uruguay, curiously, one of the leading teams
with the least goals in the tournament, can confirm being in the first place in
the classification of your group.
From this path, we can say that Uruguay is a team that accustoms us more to give surprises than to
have it as a serious candidate. It is true, it is a difficult selection to
beat, with a very applied game and the "tricks" that regularly occupy
in matches, as well as a somewhat violent game with little tolerance for
defeat, which makes them fall into rather unprofessional situations .
So far, Uruguays’s two group matches have been won by the
minimum account, without showing much football and with some defensive
misunderstandings that, for example, allowed Saudi Arabia to easily reach the
Uruguayan goal. That the Arab strikers do not have enough quality, is another
story.
