Inter Milan Open Talks for Arsenal Striker Joel Campbell
What They're Saying
Costa Rica defender Oscar Duarte (via Aldia): "I'm happy with what we lived in Brazil. I have a lot of great memories of that game [against Uruguay], but this game will be much different and we have to try to keep our momentum to achieve victory."
Costa Rica striker Joel Campbell: "It's a different game. If the Uruguayan press wants to talk about that [World Cup] game, then let them. We are focused on playing well and getting a result to end the year on an unbeaten streak."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Luis Suarez didn't feature in Costa Rica's 3-1 victory over Uruguay during the 2014 World Cup. The 27-year-old, recovering from injury, remained a fixture on the bench. In three league appearances with Barcelona, Suarez has three assists and an average of three key passes. His attacking prowess will bring an added dimension Costa Rica didn't face in Brazil.
Uruguay's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Muslera; Pereira, Gimenez, Godin, Pereira; Sanchez, Rios, Lodeiro, Rodriguez; Cavani Suarez
Costa Rica's Projected Lineup (4-2-2-2): Navas; Diaz, Duarte, Gonzalez, Gamboa; Tejeda, Borges; Ruiz, Ramirez; Saborio, Campbell
