Inter
Miami striker, Luis Suarez, has fired back at former Manchester United player,
Andreas Pereira after Uruguay defeated Brazil in the quarter final of the
ongoing Copa America 2024 at the weekend.
Pereira
had claimed before the quarter-final tie that Brazil had a “team that Uruguay
dream of having.”
But
when asked about Pereira’s comment after Uruguay knocked Brazil out of the Copa
America 2024, Suarez told reporters: “We have the best midfielders in the
world, top-level players.
“To
talk about Uruguay, you have to have a little more respect, know the history of
Uruguay.
“Before
I say which players want to be on the Brazilian national team, I have to say
that the person who made that comment was [Giorgian] De Arrascaeta’s reserve
[at Flamengo], who is the best player in Brazilian football.
“So
imagine what it’s like for us to hear that.”
Recall
that Uruguay defeated Brazil on penalty shootout, thanks to Manuel Ugarte, who
scored Uruguay’s decisive spot-kick after Eder Militao’s attempt was saved and
Douglas Luiz hit the post.
Uruguay
will now play Colombia in the Copa America semi final on Wednesday.
