What They're Saying
Chile head coach Jorge Sampaoli (via Business Standard): "We have a team that doesn't need urgent renewal. Working with youth should be done gradually. This group has what it takes to play in this Copa America and the next one in 2016."
Uruguay head coach Oscar Tabarez (via La Tercera): "I have a lot of ideas on how to substitute Luis Suarez, but I won't say them here [during this press conference]. It's a certainty that against Chile we won't be able to rely on him. A manager is not alone when he is pitch side. You have to see how you survive different situations. Now, against Chile, we are going to see a team without Luis."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With no Suarez to rely on, Uruguay turn to the attacking prowess of Edinson Cavani. The 27-year-old has 10 goals for Paris Saint-Germain across all competitions and is averaging 4.5 shots in Champions League play.
Chile's Projected Lineup (4-3-1-2): Bravo, Isla, Medel, Lichnovsky, Mena, Díaz, Aránguiz, Vidal, Valdivia, Vargas, Sánchez
Uruguay's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Muslera, Maxi Pereira, Giménez, Godín ©, A. Pereira, Arévalo Ríos, Lodeiro, Sánchez, C. Rodríguez, Rolan, Cavani
