The Liverpool forward scored both goals in the South Americans’ 2-1 win over England last Thursday, reviving their chances of World Cup progression.
Ahead of today’s do or die clash with Italy, the Atletico Madrid man also expressed his belief that his side and the Azzurri have certain things in common.
“Italy and Uruguay are similar from a certain point of view, in that both are limited,” Godin told Marca today.
“We don’t know how to win unless it’s in a dramatic way. There is a lot of anticipation, we are excited for this match.
“We are not just Suarez and ten other players, it would be a strong mark of disrespect to say that about our group.
“Behind him there is a strong team and we showed that against England.”
