Draft.
After scoring the only goal of the game to give Uruguay a 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia, Suarez's expression was the same as usual after the final whistle sounded: half-open mouth, a little confused, as if he was not the hero who settled the game.
For Egypt, Uruguay was 1-0. Against Saudi Arabia, which was 5-0 by Russia in the first round, Uruguay is still 1-0. This is coach Tabarez's strategy: defense first, 442 parallel positions, four people in the back and two in the middle of the midfield are basically stationary, only two wings Rodriguez and Sanchez continue to insert forward, with Cavani and Suarez, the two champions of Ligue 1 and La Liga killers.
So, while only Suarez scored with a bizarre corner kick with his left foot, Uruguay scored a goal in two games.
To tell you a coincidence: Cavani was born on Valentine's Day in 1987 in Salto, Uruguay's second-largest city. Three weeks earlier, Suarez had also been born in Salto. Same age, fellow countrymen, the same world top No. 9 striker.
But: Cavani is now 184 cm and 74 kg, still in a fit shape; Suarez is 182 cm 85 kg, a little shorter than Cavani, twenty pounds fatter - of course, he said when he first arrived at Barcelona four years ago:
"I'm not fat, I'm big!"
Seriously, just by looking at the size, you think that Suarez is a fat guy and Cavani is an athlete. But here's the thing: Suarez has scored 152 goals in four years at Barca, Cavani has scored 170 goals in five years in Paris, and we're objectively going to play la Liga much harder than Ligue 1.
Put it this way: Cavani is a Uruguayan, but after years in Serie A, he has transformed into a diligent and fast European striker, a goal machine; and Suarez is a... Authentic Uruguayan killer.
He is from Uruguay, South America, a more realistic and cunning football country. The style of this country, as mentioned above, pays attention to anti-reaction, relying on the demon spirit of the genius forward. They are cunning and pragmatic. The Uruguayans in the countryside around Borges's novel Rimmond Vidia are all virtuous: dancing in a bar in the darkness of the night, occasionally abandoning the woman without a word, each holding a dagger, you enter and retreat, the last dagger is inserted into the other's lower abdomen, the winner has since bragged about the story, and the loser has been plundered and thrown into the river. The people around them passed on the South American flavor of yerba mate, silently watched all this, and then repeated the legends of the killers.
When Suarez was still biting, there was a passage in the world: winter has not yet arrived, and Suarez can't help but come out to forage... In fact, watching the game is like this: when Cavani diligently runs to the top, Suarez is like a killer swinging in the ballroom, preparing a dagger to pierce a person's lower abdomen.
As early as the Liverpool period, we know that he seems to be nothing top-notch except for his signature scribbles and difficult shots in the box: he is not particularly fast, he is not particularly high in jumping, he is not ideal in size, but he has no weaknesses. Compared to Cavani, his shooting footwork and strategy are far superior. Cavani arrived like a storm, while Suarez, slimy, always got to the point.
He's an impeccable all-round striker with a strange, well-rounded, all-rounder than a slower pace, but he never seems to be able to dumb the world like Messi or Ronaldo. Behind his crazy efficiency are some evil cult masters, such as his fake fall, his soft persimmon, and his bite rumors.
Suarez was a very introverted person at heart. In fact, the only person who loved him unconditionally was his wife Sophia (who was twelve years old at the time) when he was fifteen. Previously, when he played in the Netherlands, he was stubbornly speaking his native language, and because of the poor Dutch language, he did not have a good relationship with his teammates; he did not start speaking English until 2013 at Liverpool. The Guardian reporter thinks he's quiet in private and not as bad as many people think. The Liverpool club's counsellor says he loves to talk about psychological issues: In 2013, Suarez had a daughter, so he kissed her daughter's name tattooed on her wrist every time he scored. But he refused to change completely.
"I want to get better, but I don't want to change my nature." He said so.
So when he went to Barca in 2014, the world was shocked by this weird, unpredictable, talkative, suspected racist, seemingly fake fall, quiet, manic, seemingly selfish but selfless, spoiling his daughter and loving his wife, seemingly omnipotent but helpless against strong teams, making you have to succumb to his ability and efficiency, but extremely unconvinced by his flaws, Luis Alberto Suarez, one of the world's most controversial footballers, Actually in harmony with BassaChenser?
He participated in the formation of MSN to win the Champions League, scoring 40 goals in the league the following year, and after Neymar's departure, he continued to play Messi's most loyal wingman. Once henry and Ibrahimovic, such superstars, to Barca will more or less adapt to difficulties, but Suarez seems to have no problems, such as fish.
Maybe it's because he and Messi are both South Americans. Compared to the South American vs Continental-style collision between Neymar and Cavani, Suarez and Messi are more like a pair: they are both silent and demonic killers ready to pierce their opponents.
Back to this game against Saudi Arabia. His goal was nothing worth mentioning: a corner kick, the Saudi goalkeeper made a mistake and he fired a left-footed shot at the back post. But looking back at the footage, you'll be surprised: he happened to be standing there when the penalty landed; he wasn't in a good position to shoot, so leaned back and flicked his left foot.
It was a very test of consciousness and reaction, and he scored in a not-so-pretty but practical way.
South Americans in their bones. The kind of killer who drinks yerba mate, dangles in the crowd, prepares to walk lightly, gives his opponent a dagger in the lower abdomen, and then shakes it away. Not as athletic as Cavani, with a large skeleton body, but always able to score: the killer only needs a knife.
But that doesn't mean he only poked the knife. He also had 43 touches in the game, as well as numerous drawbacks and dodgy runs. He doesn't impress the audience when he doesn't take the ball, only mourinho as an opponent points out, "you can't predict his next move"; on the contrary, only as his teammate, he will feel happy: although he is like a dangling fat man, he is really an unpredictable but extremely skilled killer.
In addition to the killer style, Suarez and Messi, also from South America, have another similarity: they both love yerba mate.
Before the World Cup, Uruguay airlifted 180 kilograms of yerba mate to Russia. According to legend, the seeds of yerba mate must be digested by multicolored birds before they can germinate, and yerba mate is therefore regarded as the source of vitality of life. The main ingredient of yerba mate, yerba mate, has an ethanol-like effect, but there is no adverse reaction to ethanol. It can relax the muscles and surrounding blood vessels, resist physical and mental fatigue, improve people's mental state, has the effect of refreshing the brain, losing weight and reducing fat, is very popular in South American homes, and is also a logistical necessity for many South American teams.
Both Messi and Suarez loved yerba mate and often drank tea together.
To be precise, Messi often rubs Suarez's yerba mate tea – photographers are said to have seen a scene at the airport where Messi drinks it with a yerba mate while Suarez watches from the side with a thermos cup.
However, the brewing method of yerba mate is more cumbersome: first put two spoonfuls of sugar into the gourd, add red charcoal to taste, put in a special straw to play a filtering role at the bottom, then add yerba mate, add two spoonfuls of sugar, and finally add piping hot water, and the tea is brewed.
However, it is very simple to drink Suarez and Messi's favorite yerba mate tea now.
