This Thursday, Uruguay and Chile will animate one of the most striking matches at the start of the South American Qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Reinaldo Rueda’s team travels to Montevideo to fight against the celestial, a duel that at this point is already considered a classic .
La Roja takes the flight at this time from Santiago to Montevideo to settle for the commitment. Meanwhile, the Charruas finished their practice and gave way to the press conference, where Diego Godín analyzed the meeting.
The captain and defender of the celeste filled with praise to the team of Reinaldo Rueda, which he claimed to respect. “Chile is a team that in recent years has maintained regularity and has been a winner, with great world figures. They are strong and have their weapons, we respect them for what they do on the field“, He launched.

For Godín, beyond the absences that the two teams will have, it will be a match as planned from before. “The casualties are sensitive for the armed forces, but I think that neither Uruguay, and I imagine that Chile too, is not going to vary the planning due to the casualties. We have an operation where one leaves and another enters, but with a way forward. It will not be conditioned by that, it will be disputed, difficult, hard for both of us and with us excited to win at home“.
Alexis and Vidal, the big concerns
The captain of Uruguay also took time to talk about Alexis Sanchez Y Arturo vidal, two players he has had to face and, in the case of the Tocopillano, even having him as a partner.
And it was precisely the Boy Wonder that he filled with flowers in the anteroom of the meeting. “I got to know Alexis, as a rival and up close, he is a player with impressive enthusiasm and desire. That makes it different and what has made this Chile, so competitive and winner of two consecutive Copa América“.
Godín also left a warning for his teammates to come out to face the Chilean. “He is a player who, individually, can generate more imbalance. That of winning balls, of putting quality passes forward. You have to be vigilant about it anywhere on the field“.
Finally, there was time to talk about Vidal, who they almost ran into at Inter and whom he has faced in both South America and Europe. “I know him from abroad, he is a great player, competitive, with a lot of quality and his experiences speak for themselves“.
