While I write this preview it is still unclear whether absolute Korean key player will play, but in fact it makes no difference!

Why so? Because if he plays he is far from 100 % himself, as he did break his cheek bone and would not only carry a mask, but also some of the attitude. Would you want to go for duels vs bigger and stronger players with a recently operated cheek bone?

This is why I rule him out of my thoughts completely. So what is left with the Korean team? With his absence and the other striker Hwang half of Korean player market value is gone.

South Korean results recently are hardly very impressive. Let us take a look:

Iceland these days is far from its top years, the same can be said about Cameroon. Costa Rica we saw last night, and those matches were played in South Korea. In the Costa Rica match, they had 11 v 10 advantage for the last 10 minutes and needed Son to do miracles and equalize late. They also conceded 2 goals from the young Sunderland teenager Bennette who is not a starter at the Championship!

Uruguay are the black horse of the tournament with several rising stars, or actually already world-class players. Fede Valverde is currently the most important player at Real Madrid and his multi usability makes him a key player anywhere he goes, now he has also added goals to his style and he can shoot from outside the box with great accuracy and strength. Darwin Nunez from Liverpool needs no introduction and he is the most active and unpredictable striker there is, midfielder Bentancur is absolutely key midfielder for Tottenham and his country. have not even yet mentioned Luis Suarez or Edison Cavani.

But the best part of the team is the defense! The centrebacks Godin and Gimenez may not always shine in their club, but for Uruguay they always give their 100 % and are the toughest pair there is. Napoli left-back Olivera is a massive talent, and personally the only questionmark I can see is the right full back Varela from Brazilian league. No wonder Uruguay have conceded 2 goals in their latest 9 games in total. That is, my friends, a huge record as the opponents have been decent class at least, Chile, Mexico, USA and Canada to name a few.

At team news Uruguay will miss Barcelona centreback Araujo from this opening game, it will be fun to see him later on as he is another super star in the making.

To win is the most important thing, but betting-wise I see more value in the handicap bet, Korea are not going to score so we need two Uruguayan goals. I believe they will come.

当我写这篇预告的时候，还不清楚是否绝对的韩国关键球员会玩，但事实上这没有什么区别!

为什么如此?因为如果他上场，他远远不是百分百的自己，因为他确实摔断了颧骨，不仅会带着面具，还会有一些态度。你想和刚做过颧骨手术的更大更强壮的球员决斗吗?

这就是为什么我把他完全排除在我的思想之外。那么，韩国队还剩下什么呢?随着他和另一名前锋黄禹锡的缺席，韩国球员市场的价值已经蒸发了一半。

韩国最近的成绩并不令人印象深刻。让我们来看看:

冰岛现在远没有达到它的巅峰时期，喀麦隆也是如此。我们昨晚看到了哥斯达黎加，这两场比赛是在韩国进行的。在与哥斯达黎加队的比赛中，他们在最后10分钟内保持了11比10的优势，需要孙兴慜创造奇迹，在比赛结束后扳平比分。他们还丢了两个球，来自桑德兰的年轻少年班内特，他不是英冠的首发球员!

乌拉圭队是本届杯赛的一匹黑马，拥有几名后起之秀，或者实际上已经是世界级的球员。费德·巴尔韦德目前是皇马最重要的球员，他的多面手使他无论走到哪里都是关键球员，现在他也为自己的风格增加了进球，他可以在禁区外以极高的精度和力量射门。来自利物浦的达尔文·努涅斯不需要介绍，他是最活跃和最不可预测的前锋，中场本坦科尔绝对是热刺和他的国家的关键中场。甚至还没有提到路易斯·苏亚雷斯或埃迪森·卡瓦尼。

但是球队最好的部分是防守!中后卫戈丁和希门尼斯可能在自己的俱乐部里并不总是光芒四射，但在乌拉圭，他们总是全力以赴，是最强悍的一对。那不勒斯左后卫奥利维拉是一个巨大的天才，就我个人而言，我能看到的唯一问号是来自巴西联赛的右边后卫瓦雷拉。难怪乌拉圭在最近的9场比赛中总共丢了2球。我的朋友们，这是一个巨大的记录，因为对手至少是体面的阶层，智利，墨西哥，美国和加拿大等等。

在球队的新闻中，乌拉圭将在首场比赛中失去巴萨的中后卫阿劳霍，之后见到他将是一件很有趣的事，因为他是另一个正在成长中的超级球星。

赢球是最重要的事情，但从赌博的角度来看，我认为障碍赌更有价值，韩国不会进球，所以我们需要乌拉圭的两个进球。我相信他们会来的。
