He&#8217;s found the net 13 times in 39 appearances for his nation and, despite having what many deemed an underwhelming time at Liverpool over the course of three seasons, still managed 25 goals in 95 appearances for the club. Since his move to Al-Hilal he&#8217;s only appeared 24 times, scoring nine goals. But he&#8217;s not in their current league squad after seeking a move away in the winter window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Uruguay primary playmaker: Federico Valverde<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Valverde has won 74 caps for Uruguay, scoring nine goals with two of those coming in 15 Conmebol qualifying matches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federico Valverde has grown into Uruguay\u2019s primary playmaker, blending relentless energy with intelligence and authority in midfield. Once known mainly for his box-to-box running, Valverde now dictates tempo, links phases of play, and drives Uruguay forward with purpose. His ability to cover ground allows teammates freedom, while his passing range and long-range shooting add a constant attacking threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STAND-OUT STAT: <strong>Uruguay <\/strong>are the smallest country by population to have ever won the World Cup having lifted the trophy in 1930 and 1950.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Uruguay set-piece specialists<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Penalties: <\/strong>Darwin Nunez<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Free kicks: <\/strong>Giorgian de Arrascaeta<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Corners: <\/strong>Giorgian de Arrascaeta, Nicolas de la Cruz<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uruguay-tactical-analysis-and-formation\">Uruguay tactical analysis and formation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Team stats (average per game from Conmebol qualifying campaign):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Corners: <\/strong>4.38<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shots on target: <\/strong>3.27<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shots on target conceded: <\/strong>3.27<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Offsides: <\/strong>1.16<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/12044145\/URUGUAY-819x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1456981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/12044145\/URUGUAY-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/12044145\/URUGUAY-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/12044145\/URUGUAY-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/12044145\/URUGUAY-214x267.png 214w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/12044145\/URUGUAY-160x200.png 160w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/12044145\/URUGUAY-48x60.png 48w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/12044145\/URUGUAY-120x150.png 120w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/12044145\/URUGUAY-59x74.png 59w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/12044145\/URUGUAY.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marcelo Bielsa prefers a high-intensity, vertical 4-2-3-1 formation which fully utilises the athleticism within his squad. Nunez is likely to lead the line, with support coming from the pace and creativity of Zalazar and Araujo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The midfield looks really balanced with Ugarte acting as a screener, allowing Valverde and de la Cruz more freedom to control the play higher up the pitch. The centre of the Uruguay defence possesses plenty of top-level experience in Europe with Araujo and Gimenez being two of La Liga&#8217;s elite centre backs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/uruguay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Get the latest Uruguay World Cup goals, assists, shots, passes and tackle stats here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uruguay-manager-analysis\">Uruguay manager analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marcelo Bielsa is one of football\u2019s most influential and uncompromising thinkers, revered as much for his ideas as for his results. His career has spanned clubs and national teams across Argentina, Europe, and South America, including Newell\u2019s Old Boys, Argentina, Chile, Athletic Club, Marseille, Leeds United, and now Uruguay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tactically, Bielsa is synonymous with intensity, man-oriented pressing, vertical play, and positional bravery. His teams attack relentlessly, defend high up the pitch, and demand extraordinary physical and mental commitment. Bielsa prioritises structure without rigidity, encouraging players to understand space, responsibility, and collective sacrifice. His methods are meticulous, often extreme, and rooted in preparation and detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since taking charge of Uruguay, Bielsa has overseen a cultural and tactical shift. He has modernised La Celeste\u2019s identity, blending traditional Uruguayan aggression with high pressing, fast circulation, and attacking ambition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Coach<\/th><th>Team<\/th><th>P<\/th><th>W<\/th><th>D<\/th><th>L<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Win %<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Marcelo Bielsa<\/td><td>Uruguay<\/td><td>34<\/td><td>15<\/td><td>12<\/td><td>7<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">44.12<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uruguay-world-cup-faqs\">Uruguay World Cup FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Have Uruguay ever won the World Cup?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uruguay are two-time World Cup winners, although none of these came in the modern era. They were the first ever winners of the World Cup in 1930 and followed this up with another victory in 1950.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Where did Uruguay finish in the last World Cup?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2022 World Cup was, ultimately, a disappointing one for <em>La Celeste<\/em> when they crashed out in the group stages. They were, in truth, a little unlucky with goal difference proving to be the deciding factor in South Korea qualifying ahead of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who will be Uruguay captain at the World Cup?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federico Valverde captained Uruguay against Saudi Arabia, with Jose Maria Gimenez on the bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who is the Uruguay&#8217;s top scorer at World Cups?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oscar Miguez is the all time top scorer for Uruguay at World Cup finals, scoring eight goals across the 1950 (five) and 1954 (three) tournaments. Luis Suarez is close behind on seven goals across three competitions, with Diego Forlan scoring six World Cup goals.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li
