Copa America: Uruguay vs Bolivia
Competition time: 2024-06-28 09:00 Friday
Analysis of the team's recent situation:
Uruguay is ranked 14th in the world, although the two main strikers of the Uruguayan team, Suarez and Cavani, have withdrawn from the national team, but thanks to the rapid growth of young players, after the completion of the replacement of the old and the new, this South American powerhouse has not only not been affected by any overall strength, but has shown strong competitiveness, this time the Uruguayan team is in Group C with Panama, Bolivia and the United States, in addition to the United States team in the same group, There is no other opponent who can put too much pressure on Uruguay, and if these young players can continue their form as much as possible, even Uruguay will be very hopeful of competing for the Copa America trophy.
In the first round of the group stage, Uruguay defeated the weaker Panama 3-1 to climb to the top of Group C. Judging from the course of the game, the players of the Uruguayan team showed good competitive form, and snatched control of the midfield soon after the game. Moreover, the young Uruguayan team did not give up the original defensive intensity, with the support of the young players' abundant physical support, even at the end of the game, the Uruguayan players were still able to maintain the compactness of the defensive line, the team's main striker Nunez also scored in this game, and it was Nunez's goal in the late game that helped the team extinguish the opponent's hopes of equalizing.
Personally, the biggest difference between this Uruguayan team and the previous one is the team's offensive and defensive conversion speed, because most of the old players have left the national team, so the team's speed from the defensive to offensive stage has been greatly improved, although there is still a gap between Nunez and Arauyo These strikers can grasp the opportunity compared to Suarez, but the vitality that young players bring to the team is also quite important. Moreover, there is no problem with the tacit understanding between these young players, which means that as long as the players can realize their talents, the Uruguayan team can compete in many major tournaments, linked to the previous Uruguayan team has achieved good results in the World Cup qualifiers, perhaps this Copa America will be the best opportunity for the Uruguayan team to prove themselves again.
Bolivia estimates that fans and friends should not be very familiar, after all, this team has always been difficult to achieve too good results in the South American region, basically in the tournament can only be reduced to other strong teams to improve the score machine, this Copa America and Bolivia in the same group and the United States team and Uruguay team such a strong team exists, I believe that Bolivia is likely to stop at the group stage, even if the main players can play extraordinarily, the weak bench lineup will greatly restrict the overall performance of Bolivia.
In terms of tactics, Bolivia in the first round of the group stage was competing against the United States with an uncommon 3142 formation, and it seemed that the team had invested a lot of troops in the midfield, as if they wanted to slow down the offensive advance of the opponent through the blockade in the midfield. But in fact, the United States team did not feel too much pressure in the whole game, not only the possession rate was far ahead, but the number of goal attempts was 12 times more than Bolivia, so it is not difficult to see that Bolivia's tactical arrangement did not achieve the expected goal, and the team coach also lacked the ability to adjust on the spot, seeing that the team was suppressed by the opponent, but still insisted on the midfield confrontation, for which the Bolivian players not only lost three points in the first game, but also paid a high price of four yellow cards, If Bolivia still insists on this 3142 formation to play against the opponent in the subsequent matches, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the team to get group stage points after three group games.
Match Analysis:
Uruguay have already met Bolivia once in World Cup qualifying, with Uruguay comfortably beating 3-0 at home, and it is clear that Bolivia simply cannot limit Uruguay's continued attack. In the last ten meetings, the Uruguayan team has seven wins, one draw and two losses, and also has a large psychological advantage. Although the Uruguayan team has just completed the replacement of the old and the new, but the tacit understanding of these young players does not have any sense of rustiness, and Bolivia is not only weak in overall strength at this stage, but also has a lot of problems in terms of technical and tactical play, as long as the Uruguayan players can continue the state, I believe that the team will be able to easily grab the key three points on Bolivia.
