Cavani: “Messi, Neymar, Ronaldinho sono geni, io un semplice lavoratore”

Edinson Cavani of Uruguay national football team poses to celebrate after scoring against Wales national football team in their final match during the 2018 Gree China Cup International Football Championship in Nanning city, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, 26 March 2018. Edinson Cavani's goal in the second half helped Uruguay beat Wales to claim the title of the second edition of China Cup International Football Championship here on Monday (26 March 2018). "It was a tough match. I'm very satisfied with the result and I think that we can even get better if we didn't suffer from jet lag or injuries. I think the result was very satisfactory," said Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez. Wales were buoyed by a 6-0 victory over China while Uruguay were fresh from a 2-0 win over the Czech Republic. Uruguay almost took a dream start just 3 minutes into the game as Luis Suarez's shot on Nahitan Nandez cross smacked the upright. Uruguay were dealt a blow on 8 minutes when Jose Gimenez was injured in a challenge and was replaced by Sebastian Coates. Inter Milan's midfielder Matias Vecino of Uruguay also fired at the edge of box from a looped pass but only saw his attempt whistle past the post. Suarez squandered a golden opportunity on 32 minutes when Ashley Williams's wayward backpass sent him clear, but the Barca hitman rattled the woodwork again with goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey well beaten.
