Uruguay’s coach, Óscar Washington Tabárez, once again bet on his main stars and team references, such as forwards Luis Suárez and Edinson Cavani or defender Diego Godín, to get out of the bad moment in the South American qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
With all the veterans who have accompanied it in recent years, as well as the young talents Federico Valverde and Rodrigo Bentancur, La Celeste will try to return to the path of victory in a difficult double day in which it will face Argentina in Montevideo and visit Bolivia in La Paz.
The call comes a few days after the Tabárez cycle was questioned and, even, there was speculation about the dismissal of the oldest coach of those who occupy an international bench, with more than 15 years behind him.
However, in the absence of a few dates and with Uruguay in the ranking position – it is in fifth place with 16 points as well as Colombia, which has the best balance of goals – the authorities of the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) will bet to trust the coaching staff to go to Qatar.
The main stars of La Celeste are also joined by other key players such as defender José María Giménez, defender Ronald Araujo or Benfica striker Darwin Núñez.
Although it still remains to add local players to the squad, Tabárez already knows that he will not be able to count on Nacional goalkeeper Sergio Rochet, who suffered a broken hand in the team’s last game against Wanderers.
On Thursday 11, Uruguay will host Argentina at the Champion of the Century stadium, while the Tuesday 16 will visit Bolivia at the Hernando Siles Stadium. (D)
