Suarez against the Brits

The Liverpool forward has seen a fantastic season with his club and has helped the national team gets past the qualifiers and can mostly be depended upon to score for his team. He is a player who would do well if he begins playing with the starting 11 as he’s a seasoned player and doesn’t need much time to warm up before he gets into action.

The Uruguay team is another one that sees a world-class player working to keep the team afloat, much like Portugal and Sweden. Suarez possesses excellent ball control – he is able to receive high and long throws successfully and shoot in headers while necessary. His fantastic stamina shows during a game as well as in match appearances despite injuries. If the match against England proves hard to score against, this particular skill will come very in handy.

Suarez has lovely spatial skills. He is impossible to put into a spot as he is able to wiggle himself as well as the ball out of a lot of tight spots. He’s a fighter with just the right amount of aggression required to get past rough defences without excessively fouling the opposition. This makes it difficult for the opposition to man-to-man mark him, a strategy that has been actively employed by multiple teams this World Cup.

The fact that Suarez has been a part of Liverpool since 2011 doesn’t mean that his tactics and game play can be easily predicted. England as a national team have not shown exceptional skill in several years now, so the two teams look more or less evenly matched and it is possible that Suarez could prove instrumental in aiding Uruguay’s performance, especially if he plays as a part of the opening eleven.
