Abreu has urged Uruguay to draw inspiration from how they kept Maradona at bay in round 16 of the 1986 World Cup to stop Messi on Friday. The 45-year-old also insisted that Argentina was heavily dependent on the forward before Scaloni took charge. He told ESPN Argentina:

You have to treat him like Diego in ’86. Before Scaloni, Argentina was only Messi: controlling him, you neutralized the game. Today there is a collective operation that strengthens individualities.”

Uruguay vs Argentina LIVE: What happened in the 1986 World Cup?

Uruguay suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Argentina at the 1986 World Cup. Nevertheless, they succeeded to keep Maradona silent for large parts of the game.

This is what Abreu expects the Uruguayan team to do against Argentina and to make sure that they stop Lionel Messi who is coming off an injury.
