Strong defense expected

Jorge Luis Pinto is expecting to battle an Uruguayan team as strong as it was when it beat Japan 3-0. It's Colombia's turn to face the Uruguayans on Saturday.

Pinto believes the strategy on they bring will be modeled after the practice game they played in Saporo. "I had the opportunity to watch the game Uruguay played and I am sure they played the way they plan to against us, different from how they played against Paraguay and even Brazil.

They have no visitor points and the coach is looking for a solution", Pinto said.

He envisions a rival that is strong in their defense and will most likely try to keep the ball in the air and counterattack.
