Cavani and Suarez are over-motivated for their last World Cup
A founding confrontation in a dense group H
This World Cup is the witness of the relay between the vestiges of the glorious Uruguay of the past decade and the foundations of the new Celeste. Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani and even Diego Godin are competing in what looks like their last World Cup. It will be the first of the generation led by Federico Valverde and Darwin Nunez.
For its tenth consecutive participation in the World Cup, South Korea has inherited one of the most homogeneous groups of the tournament. The Taeguk Warriors are not starting favorites but Heung-min Son intends to tow the hopes of an entire nation until the eighth.
South Korea rely on Son and Hwang in attack
South Korea also revealed its composition, with a 4-2-3-1 on the menu. Team and Tottenham star Heung-Min Son is firmly in the starting XI three weeks after his eye surgery. The former Bordelais Hwang is a starter.
I compose it : Seung-Gyu Kim – Jong-Gyu Yoon, Min-Jae Kim, Young-Gwon Kim, Jin-su Kim – In-Beom Hwang, Woo-Young Jung – Chang-Hoon Kwon, Jae-Sung Lee, Heung-Min Son © – Ui-Jo Hwang
Uruguay without Cavani but with Godin and Suarez
New and old for the Celeste. Cavani is on the bench, the attack will be led by Luis Suarez, Darwin Nunez and Facundo Pellistri. Captain Diego Godin is present, supported by José Maria Gimenez in hinge.
