TIL Desk Sports/ Forward Luis Suarez gave a positive evaluation on Monday of Uruguay’s performance at the World Cup in Russia, nothing that the team finished in fifth place with the best results of any South American team.
“We started out as just one more team and finished in fifth place in the World Cup, the best of South America, and that’s something that must be appreciated,” the FC Barcelona star told at Carrasco International Airport upon the team’s return home.
The national football team was greeted by a crowd of thousands, even though it arrived at 3.30 a.m., something Suarez said made him proud and showed that “the team did a good job”.
The forward also noted the absence of Edinson Cavani in the match against France, a “different” player not only for his goals but also for the “concern” he causes rival teams. As for his own part, Suarez considered his World Cup performance went “from less to more” though he regretted that in the decisive match against France, he didn’t get “a shot at goal”.
