Copa America: USA vs Uruguay
Competition time: 2024-07-02 09:00 Tuesday
Analysis of the team's recent situation:
Although the United States easily defeated Bolivia, the weakest team in the group, in the first round of the group stage, the United States lost to Panama in the second round of the group stage, and the team will go head-to-head with Uruguay in the final game.
Of course, some fans and friends may say that the Uruguayan team has now locked the promotion place in advance, and the team can rest the main team in the last group stage, while the overall strength of the United States team is quite good, and the loss in the second round of the group stage is more due to the red card of winger Weah prematurely. But in fact, the Uruguayan team and the United States team are direct competitors, this Copa America Uruguay team is rushing to win the championship and win the cup, rather than let the United States team this potential champion successfully advance, it is better to be based on the defensive end, through strict defense to ensure that the opponent can not advance smoothly, after all, the United States team is a strong offensive and weak team, once the team puts too much energy on the offensive end, then the defensive end will inevitably expose more defensive gaps.
In terms of tactics, the U.S. team has played against their opponents in a 433 impact formation in the previous two games, and because there are indeed many excellent players in the team's midfield, the team can also put a lot of defensive pressure on the opponent. However, this team is more often based on ground offense, when the opponent sacrifices joint defense tactics or presses defense to entertain the United States team, the offensive speed of the American team will be greatly affected, and the cooperation between the players of the American team is also more general, more often the players are more keen on individual breakthroughs, and it is naturally difficult to get too good offensive opportunities in the face of the package defense.
Personally, now the United States team is indeed on the verge of elimination, but don't forget that the United States team is the host of this America's Cup, even if the team's promotion situation is not optimistic, but the host team is eliminated in the group stage is still very rare, plus the overall strength of the United States team is quite good, as long as the team can work together in the last game, then this team will burst out stronger than the previous ability to grab points, and the Uruguay team that rotates the main force may not be able to stop the progress of the American team.
The Uruguayan team is now a situation without desire, because the team has locked the first place in the group in advance after two rounds of group stage, the last game for Uruguay is more just a passing scene, although the United States team is indeed a potential championship opponent, but considering that the Uruguayan team has just completed the replacement of the old and the new, the young players in the team still need to increase their experience through more game training, so when the team points are worry-free, The Uruguayan coach will inevitably give more minutes to the substitutes, so the team's strength in the final game will certainly be affected.
It is worth mentioning that in the last game, the veteran Suarez of the Uruguayan team also got the opportunity to come off the bench, due to the relationship between age and competitive status, this time he returned to the national team, Suarez really can't get too much playing time, but as a veteran who has been leading the Uruguayan team to forge ahead for more than ten years, Suarez can still play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army in the national team, and many of the main players in the team were watching the game between Suarez and Cavani before embarking on a football career. In front of the former guide, the young players will naturally play hard, which may be the main reason why the Uruguay coach invited Suarez to return to the national team.
Match Analysis:
The last time the United States and Uruguay met was back in a warm-up match in 2022, when the United States played at home and drew 0-0 with Uruguay. Although the overall strength of the U.S. team is still slightly better than the Uruguayan team, and now the team has a more urgent need for group points, but the Uruguayan team will not easily give up the points after all, and even for the subsequent championship prospects, the Uruguayan team is likely to sacrifice a dense defense to entertain the U.S. team. However, after all, the U.S. team has the aura of the host on its head, and it is indeed a little unreasonable to stop at the group stage, and I believe that the players of the U.S. team will inevitably burst out with a stronger desire to win, and after a hard battle, they can still grab the key three points from the Uruguay team.
