Argentina vs Uruguay Player Battle<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The rivalry between Argentina and Uruguay is one of the earliest and most intense in the annals of football rivalries and it extends well beyond football at times.<\/p>\n

Lionel Messi vs Diego Godin<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When it comes to classic games, Lionel Messi<\/strong> takes a considerable amount of the spotlight. Too right he should, for he has the ability to change any game at will. In the clash against Atletico, captain Lionel Messi will lock horns with skipper Diego Godin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The talismanic Lionel Messi, has been in great form for Barcelona this season.\u00a0Atletico Madrid captain Diego Godin has made a name for himself as one of the toughest defenders in the world of football. The centre-back was able to keep the charismatic Lionel Messi at bay many times in La Liga.\u00a0It will be interesting to see if he can neutralize\u00a0Barca<\/em>‘s no.10 and the threat he poses.\u00a0Also Messi functions as a false nine at times, which allows him to leave his markers out of position and create spaces for his teammates. Godin will be aware of this and ensure he doesn’t get hoodwinked.<\/p>\n

For us, the winner will be Lionel Messi<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0in this\u00a0COPA AMERICA 2021 Player Battle.<\/p>\n

Edinson Cavani\u00a0<\/strong>vs Leandro Paredes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The veteran Uruguayan striker has been delighted in his sublime first season with the Red Devils. Edinson Cavani<\/strong> didn\u2019t really look the most persuasive marking when he initially joined Man Utd the previous summer, showing up from Paris Saint-Germain far after his pinnacle years. Leandro Paredes<\/strong> is a competent defensive midfielder for Argentina. He might be asked to target Cavani.<\/p>\n

Paredes is not a complete defensive midfielder yet but his performances over the past six months for club and country have exemplified just how important he will be for Argentina moving forward.\u00a0Paredes was a workhorse in the midfield and emerged as one of the best passers in the league. Paredes has played\u00a0behind a prolific attack featuring Neymar Jr., Edinson Cavani, and Kylian Mbapp\u00e9. Therefore he is familiar to the moves of Cavani, which will help him to mark the striker.<\/p>\n

For us, the winner will be Leandro Paredes<\/strong><\/span> in this\u00a0COPA AMERICA 2020 Player Battle.<\/p>\n

Luis Suarez\u00a0<\/strong>vs\u00a0Nicolas Otamendi<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In the past Manchester City\u00a0centre-back\u00a0Nicolas Otamendi<\/strong>\u00a0has revealed that\u00a0Luis Suarez<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Romelu Lukaku\u00a0are the two toughest strikers to defend against. They will be up against each other in Argentina vs Uruguay.<\/p>\n

The Uruguayan marksman achieved the almost unimaginable feat of outscoring Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi when they were at the peak of their powers.\u00a0Suarez has caught everyone’s attention again by virtue of his incredible performances in the La Liga for Atletico Madrid.\u00a0Otamendi could prove to be a vitally important piece of business for Argentina.\u00a0Otamendi’s defining characteristic is his strength. He’s a powerful athlete capable of outmuscling any forward in the world\u2014an aggressive defender who prides himself on dominating the battle with his opposite number. In the past years, his reputation has declined a lot. Therefore he has a point to prove.<\/p>\n

For us, the winner will be Luis Suarez<\/strong><\/span> in this\u00a0COPA AMERICA 2020 Player Battle.<\/p>\n

Giovani Lo Celso vs\u00a0Federico Valverde<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This player battle will be between an attacking midfielder and a holding midfielder. Both the player are young talents at the present. Giovani Lo Celso<\/strong> plays for Spurs and Federico Valverde<\/strong> plays for Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

Tottenham\u2019s Lo Celso looks more like a deep controller. A midfielder aiming to connect things between the defence and more attacking players.\u00a0He maintains his excellent dribbling and progression numbers and can even find the net against Uruguay. Valverde will have the responsibility to stop him from scoring.\u00a0Valverde will be central to Uruguay’s hopes in Copa America 2020.\u00a0A multi-functional central midfielder, Valverde is equally capable of producing spectacular goalscoring moments, like the one above, or getting back to fulfil his defensive duties.<\/p>\n

For us, the winner will be Federico Valverde<\/span><\/strong> in this\u00a0COPA AMERICA 2020 Player Battle.<\/p>\n

Lautaro Mart\u00ednez vs\u00a0Lucas Torreira<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lautaro Mart\u00ednez<\/strong> enjoys playing with an edge to his game. At times, it is what separates him from his marker. The very best strikers find that balance.\u00a0Lucas Torreira<\/strong> will be man marking the young striker.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The youngster’s performances for the Serie A club have fuelled rumours he could be the subject of a big-money bid and leave Inter in the summer. Martinez has been one of the breakout players of the season in Serie A, partnering with summer arrival Romelu Lukaku to form one of the league\u2019s best tandems. Mart\u00ednez is ready to carry the future of Argentina.\u00a0Lucas Torreira has a lot of qualities which shows how good he is. His defensive work is praiseworthy and aerial duels are also good. His speed is also good and his trackbacking skill cannot be doubted. His perfectly timed challenges baffles the opposition player every time he snatches the ball from them.<\/p>\n

For us, the winner will be Lucas Torreira<\/span><\/strong><\/span> in this\u00a0COPA AMERICA 2020 Player Battle.<\/p>\n
