​Chelsea winger Willian expects tough Uruguay test

Brazil and Chelsea winger Willian is ready for a tough clash against Uruguay.

The two South American giants will be locking horns in a friendly at the Emirates Stadium in London.

And Willian knows that it may be a friendly, but it will be a very difficult game for the Seleção.

"Brazil and Uruguay will always be a tough game," he said to Sportsbeat.

"They have a lot of great players, and they also don't give up anytime.

"They are natural markers, so we don't have lots of space to create opportunities and make the game difficult.

"I remember our game against them during Russia 2018 Qualifiers at Montevideo. We won 4-1, Paulinho scored a hat trick.

"Uruguay scored the first goal and it was hard to come back and win there. It was one of our greatest game during the Qualifiers."
