Saudi Arabia will be doing their best to win their upcoming World Cup match against Uruguay, the South American side’s goalkeeper Fernando Muslera said on Tuesday.
Saudi Arabia will play Uruguay at the Rostov Arena on Wednesday. They lost 5-0 to hosts Russia in the World Cup's opening match, while Uruguay beat Egypt 1-0 in their first game at this summer's tournament.
"I don't think that our opponents will be feeling great ahead of the game with us because of their result in the first match. I think they will do their best to beat us. We have to defeat them, which will mean we qualify [for the knockout stage]. We are feeling stronger ahead of tomorrow's match," Muslera told journalists.
The 32-year-old goalkeeper added that the team were enjoying their stay in Rostov-on-Don.
"Our hotel in Rostov-on-Don is very nice, but we've just arrived. We've seen rooms, a canteen. The locals haven't prepared anything special for us," he said.
