Uruguay to stay ‘humble’ despite stars

Uruguay’s

Giorgian De Arrascaeta has shrugged off their tag as Group A favourites, saying the South Americans would be a “humble” team in Russia despite the talents of Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez.

The Celeste have been widely tipped to top a relatively weak-looking group, which contains hosts Russia, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. But speaking at Uruguay’s base in Bor, De Arrascaeta said the players would not treat their opponents lightly. “We are never known for being favourites. Our mystique is always to be humble and go from match to match,” he said. (AFP)
