"My players are the best in the world": said the Uruguay coach Diego Alonso "without arrogance" on the eve of his debut in group H of the Qatar 2022 World Cup scheduled for tomorrow, November 24, at 14 Italians against South Korea. "When I say that Uruguayan players are the best in the world, I mean it because - he specified - they are mine. It's never arrogance. My children, for me, are the best in the world And with my players, I feel the same thing. Our best weapon is the players' sense of belonging to Uruguayan football, the way they identify with the selection," he added, clearly referring to the two expert forwards from Celeste , Edison Cavani and Luis Suarez.
South Korea, highlighted the captain Diego Godin, "is not just Son:
South Korea's most important player, Son, will be on the field tomorrow against Uruguay in the opening match of group H of the World Cup, but he will do so wearing a protective mask, after the eye injury suffered in the Champions League match of last November 1st between his Tottenham and Marseille.
After the operation he underwent, the Spurs player will therefore take the field "disguised", as he did in the last training sessions of the Asian team.
"Our hope - highlighted the South Korean coach, the Portuguese Paulo Bento - is that the protective mask won't create particular problems for him".
In the other match in group D, also tomorrow, Portugal will challenge Ghana, at 5 pm Italian time.
