The match with Uruguay, the Italian team originally had a certain advantage, after all, with 3 points in hand, they only need to draw with their opponents, they can advance to the group with a goal difference advantage, and the last World Cup team of four Uruguay if they want to qualify for the round of 16, they need to win.
Under the requirement of different results, the two teams have completely different game strategies:
The Italian team is dominated by midfield control and good defense, while the Uruguay team is strengthening the middle and back of the fight and waiting for opportunities to use the best counterattack to create goals.
