Uruguay, who won all three of their group matches and scored eight goals to finish top of Group C, will be hoping to progress to the semi-finals and the coach will be looking to implement his high-pressing attacking style against the Brazilians.

"I know the boss at times will come under criticism and come under stick, but, ultimately, it’s us on the pitch, to make the difference in vital moments," Kane told reporters.
