FIFA standings: Portugal (9), Uruguay (14)
Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur says the two-times champions are enjoying their underdog status as they prepare to face Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal in the World Cup on Monday.
If that comment on Sunday reflected calm confidence, there's a reason for it.
Four years ago, a brace from Edinson Cavani helped the South Americans stun the then European champions 2-1 in the round of 16 of the World Cup. Portugal were also favorites before that game. And after a monotonous 0-0 draw with South Korea on Thursday, La Celeste, as Uruguay are known, are once again hoping to try and beat the odds in their Group H clash.
"We respect everyone, but the less we know about Uruguay, the better for us," said Tottenham player Bentancur. “Better not to attract attention, be humble, respect your opponents and play the same.
In the last World Cup we did very well, starting from behind”.
Indeed, much attention will be focused on Portugal's impressive line-up of attacking talent which includes JoĆ£o FĆ©lix, Rafael LeĆ£o, Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva, as well as Ronaldo. Portugal's magical goal against Ghana made him the first player to score in five World Cups. In veteran centre-back Pepe, 39, Portugal have one of the most experienced players in the tournament. Coach Fernando Santos said Pepe will play on Monday, making him the second-oldest outfield player to appear in a World Cup match, after Cameroonian great Roger Milla. Bentancur is looking forward to facing Porto's Brazilian defender.
"We all know Pepe, I played against him in 2018, he's a great player, he's had an incredible career," said Bentancur.
Playing him will be a good test for us, but we also have our weapons. They have experience, so do we, and we will try to attack their weaknesses."
Portugal have identified midfielder Federico Valverde as Uruguay's dangerous man. “He is a difficult player to stop. He's a good team player, a strong player,” Bernardo said. “He is one of the best midfielders in the world, not only with the ball but also without it. He does a lot to create space for his teammates."
Valverde, 24, was named man of the match against South Korea in their World Cup opener and has already won the Champions League and La Liga with Real Madrid. He has truly been successful this season, scoring more goals in 20 games than in his previous 148 games for the club in four seasons. "He's always the same guy, humble, comrade, he always participates in a very natural way," said Uruguayan coach Diego Alonso. "His performance is fantastic, extraordinary, we are very happy to have him."
The Portuguese will qualify for the round of 16 if they beat Uruguay. But if Uruguay win, they will overtake Ronaldo's side in the standings and boost their chances of qualifying for the round of 16. If that happens, they will no longer be the losers.
