Uruguay vs. Italy: for the U-20 World Cup title

It’s your turn Fabricio Diaz, Cesare Casadei, Sebastián Boselli, Tommaso Baldanzi, Anderson Duarte, Samuel Giovane and many others. Everyone jumps on the lawn of the Unique stadium Diego Armando Maradona to fight for a title their country never managed to win.

It used to belong to ‘Pelusa’ itself, from Lionel Messi, from Paul Pogba, from Sergio Agüero, from Dominic Solanke, from Juan Román Riquelme, from Paulo Silas, from Erling Haaland and from so many players who shone in a tournament played in 1977.

There were 11 teams that won the award. Argentina and Brazil led the way in showing the world South American talent, winning 11 of the 22 editions held to date.

Now it will be Uruguay that will try to take home a cup they failed to win and extend the region’s dominance in this tournament. Italy wants to prevent it.

For Celeste it will be a rematch in which they will try to enforce that maxim that “the third time is a charm”. The South Americans played in the finals of Malaysia 1997 and Turkey 2013 and had to settle for silver in both cases.

Italy, finally, will enjoy playing a final after fulfilling that same motto in the last win against South Koreawhere he sealed his ticket to the final match after falling in the semi-finals of the last two tournaments played.

He will do it, cheered on by an audience that accompanied him throughout the game, although in this case he will have to start with an inferiority, since there are thousands of people who have already made the crossing or will cross this weekend Silver River to encourage the selection of a country that lives, feels and breathes football like few others.

Luciano Rodríguez was allowed to play on the field after two suspensions and it is currently unknown if Marcelo Broli lEither he starts or he bets again on the eleven who won the last game.

In addition, in a press conference, the coach stressed the importance of leaving the 4-3-3 in the last game to return to 4-2-3-1 so that the Liverpool striker or Andrés could replace Ferrari to Ignacio Sosa.

On the other hand, they bet on the goals of Caesar Casadei, the footballer who joined Reading from Chelsea on loan has scored seven in six games and is stroking the Golden Boot.

Also for the good game of Tommaso Baldanzi, the midfielder who commands the reins of a team that was solid in attack, but whose defense was weaker than that of their on-duty rival.

An impressive goalscorer, numbers that emerged throughout the tournament, remarkable victories and the strength to overcome adversity are just some of the keys to Uruguay and Italy’s path in the U-20 World Cup.

How could it be otherwise, both are going for the title and both will leave everything on the field to achieve it. And while the two deserved everyone’s recognition, only one becomes world champion for the first time. The time has come.
