#3 Best: Lucas Torreira
Not many would have noticed, but Lucas Torreira rose up to the occasion in emphatic style.
Trending
He served as a scabbard in front of the defence and mopped up any sort of danger that came their way. Not only was he tactically excellent, but also with the ball at his feet.
If viewed in the tactical aspect, he screened the back line, stuck to his positions and selected his players whenever Russia got forward in numbers. Defensively, he was rather rock-solid, as he launched his tackles at the right time, gained back possession and blocked passing lanes.
Due to his defensive sheath, the likes of Nahitan Nandez and Vecino were able to play with freedom. His passing was neat, tidy and accurate.
He claimed his moments while going forward too, playing it wide, combining with his colleagues and switching play successfully.
