Uruguay's coach Oscar Tabares shared his expectations of the match of the 1/8 finals of the 2018 World Cup against Portugal.

On the eve of the match 1/8 finals of the 2018 World Cup coach of the Uruguayan national team Oscar Washington Tabarres answered the journalists' questions.

"I think Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best strikers in the world," Tabares said at the pre-match press conference. - It is impossible to cope with it alone, for this, coordinated actions of the whole team. He has a lot of strong qualities, but we will try to minimize them. Match against Portugal promises to be exciting and very difficult. However, this does not mean that we can not fall asleep in front of him. The Uruguayan team has already shown its strength in the world championship and is not afraid of anyone. We won all the matches in the group and did not miss a single ball, we are close to our optimal form, but have not reached the maximum, in our arsenal there are still enough arrows.

In this situation, the main thing is not to underestimate the opponent. In the national team of Portugal in its last match on the field came out nine European champions - it already speaks volumes. We respect the opponent, but we will do everything possible to win ".

Match Uruguay - Portugal will be held on June 30 in Sochi. Beginning at 21:00 Kyiv time.
