The biggest rivalry in South America passes away from the simplicity of Luis Suárez . Best striker in English football last season and a great exponent of the Uruguayan national team, Luisito is pure humility, to the point of admitting that one of their major references in childhood was an Argentine, the striker Batistuta.

Suarez speaks quietly, sometimes the floor is the only target of his sheepish look. Opens spontaneous smile when he hears from journalists at the Arena das Dunas in Natal, Michael Owen, former England striker, rival the shirt destroçara 9 days ago, was filled with praise. That was the password for him to remember hermano idol.

According to Owen, Suarez has redefined the concept of striker in world football. Score goals in every way. For Luisito, there could be no sweeter words. Especially because that was how he regarded Batistuta when watch the exploits of the Argentine striker in the 1990s, still small, is in Salto, whether in Montevideo.

- Of course, the compliments are always welcome, even more great players. Are even more important, because he knows what happens on the pitch. Owen say it worth the trouble, and I thank you. He knows what we suffer on the pitch. I also liked Batistuta, who had goals in every way. He was one of my mirrors when I was a boy - Suárez account.

The figures also near Suarez and Batistuta. The Uruguayan has already, at 27, the same amount of games for your selection: 78 participations. The hermano has more goals, 56, nobody did more in his country. The same goes for Luisito, top scorer for his country with 41 goals. The stage is so blessed that he has already found great affection in argentina figure of all time. Before the World Cup, Maradona said that the Uruguayan was the best striker in the world. Gunner maximum of celestial history with 41 goals in 78 games, Luisito very nearly lost the Cup. On May 22, underwent surgery on his left knee. He recovered in time for the second game against England. The gigantic sound pressure, since, without it, Uruguay lost to Costa Rican Zebra debut. 

The truth is that even crosses my mind to be the best in the World

Luis Suárez

Not that he wore the shirt, put on a boot and scored two goals in English? Renaissance that made ​​headlines the world. And that Suárez strives to try to minimize. For him, all have the same weight. - The truth is that even crosses my mind to be the best in the World. My only goal is to help Uruguay to continue to grow and achieve their goals, which is to classify winning Italy. Only this.

For its retracted the microphones and claw unmistakable way with which indulges in the field and vibrates with the goals, it goes far from packed speech. Nothing about Suarez sounds artificial. It may surprise. Even the fact that the maximum of idol worship an Argentine Uruguayan nation.

The defeat to Costa Rica coach Cesare Prandelli made ​​the change almost everything in Azurra.Abandoned the 4-1-4-1 and fielded a 3-5-2, used in times of trouble since he took command of the Nazionale in 2010.'s Training base is defense.Bonucci enters the wave of Brazilian-born Thiago Motta and shape the national champion for the industry alongside Juventus Chiellini and Barzagli to. The strategy has succeeded. In the 2013 Confederations Cup, playing like Italy secured a draw against Spain, but lost the spot in the final on penalties. yet on defense, left back De Sciglio has recovered from a muscle injury in his left thigh and enters the place of slaughter. Thus, Darmian back to work on the right wing. De Rossi wheel, vetoed because of a right calf injury, makes room for the entry of the boy Verratti. Offensive sector also underwent changes. The Candreva half the team leaves for the entry of the attacker Immobile. The player was the top scorer of the last Italian Championship with 22 goals, and enter to assist Balotelli, who had cleared enough action in the previous round.

I told the players that 
they have to be confident, 
believe until the end

Cesare Prandelli

Deleted can not classify the history of Italy in World. Better or worse, is always sure to thrill.And suffering. In 20 editions of the World Cup, Italy accumulates some Cooperating vexations and much to the fame of suffering. Twice champion in 34 and 38, the Azzurri had a difficult sequence of disappointments. She also fell in the first round in 50, 54, 62, 66 and 74 - not played in 58.

A breath is that sometimes suffering has a happy ending. In 82 years of tri, the Azzurri started the World without giving much hope for the fans. The rating came with three draws against Poland, Peru and Cameroon. However, cradled in the next step, eliminating the favorite Brazil and winning the title against Germany. At 94, when she became the vice, the top was also discouraging. Already in 2006, the way to the fourth title had a moment of concern in the initial phase. After a victory over Ghana in the first round, the Azzurri stumbled in the United States with a draw, but was saved by hitting the Czech Republic. - At this point I told the players that they have to be confident, believe until the end.We can not think in the post-competition. We are determined and confident of victory - asked the coach Prandelli.

Uruguay and its callous group

The clash Tuesday this is the way they like Uruguay. Will be facing a rival theoretically superior, with more titles and designer. The opponent still needs only a draw. Scenario very similar to the Maracanazo 1950, although the victory over the Brazilian 64 years ago is underreported. Celeste says, yes, in the past, but that the same group has shown to be able to reverse.

The most evident example is the playoffs. There were five victories in the last six games. A real feat to reach the World in Brazil. Anything goes for this. Even create a virtual community for exchanging messages via mobile application, Whatsapp. The family environment captained by defender Lugano was essential.

In the history of the World Cup, Uruguay is prodigal in the art of suffering. In eight group stages who played with four teams and three games, Celeste spent in five. Only in 2010 advanced to the second round with two wins. And never had classified in advance.

- This group has already shown he knows enough to absorb the pressure. We know our margin of possibility. It is difficult, but not impossible - spoke Tabarez.

This group has already shown he knows enough 
to absorb the pressure

Oscar Tabarez

The Maestro was the Uruguayan coach in the 1990 World Cup, when he was eliminated in the second round just by Italy, who was at home. But breaking marks is with the coach. By beating England last Thursday, wiped a fast that lasted since 1970 without Uruguayan victories over Europeans in World.

Until the new generation surpasses records.Maria José Giménez is the youngest player to take the field for Uruguay in World Cup history. Comes commended performance on the English and again will replace Lugano, still recovering from inflammation in his left knee. Speaking in the left knee ... Luis Suarez is 100%. Highlight the last game with two goals, the heavenly body is again the great hope for a win. Why reduce suffering, or is capable Luisito. Is the Uruguayan blood. As in the Italian DNA. That all have strong hearts, therefore, from 13h on Tuesday in Natal.
