Uruguay defender Caceres admits having inside Italy information

Juventus defender Martin Caceres admits he has inside information on Italy ahead of Uruguay's must-win World Cup showdown.

Caceres is sure to start for the South Americans.

"I think Coach Tabarez will ask me for information about Italy and Juventus, especially my club teammates," confessed Caceres.

"All tacticians know Andrea Pirlo, so I'll just reiterate to Tabarez how important it is to disturb him when he's in possession.

"Claudio Marchisio has some standard movements, so in this case my advice could be very useful. He knows how to burst between the lines and has a great shot from distance. I'll describe him in great detail.

"Giorgio Chiellini is a very good friend, while Andrea Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci are very experienced.

"I don't expect Italy to put 10 men behind the ball, as that is not their style. It suits us, as Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani become deadly with a little space. We'll play on the counter-attack."
