Coach Fernando Diniz said he expects a very competitive game between Brazil and Uruguay this Tuesday (17). For the coach of the Brazilian National Team, both squads are offensive and like to have the ball at their feet, which, in his view, can greatly move the match at the Centenário Stadium.
“I expect a very difficult game with both teams looking to take the lead in the game. I think he has the characteristics of Bielsa (Uruguay coach), who everyone knows. Mine is too. So, we will have a very competitive game”, said the coach, who completed.
“We have to be prepared for all situations. One of them, perhaps the most predictable, would be a higher marking and pressure. It’s a very well-trained team, with players from the main clubs in Europe. We expect a great classic”, said Diniz.
