Denmark defender Thomas Helveg is confident he can
put the shackles on Uruguay star Alvaro Recoba in their World Cup opener.
AC Milan defender Helveg, who has played against the talented Inter striker in
Italy's Serie A, will be the man most likely charged with stopping Recoba when
the Danes open their World Cup campaign in Ulsan on Saturday.
And while he is adamant that Recoba will definitely be the Uruguayans' player
to watch, he believes he can neutralise his attacking threat.
"Recoba is a player who can make the difference on his good days, but he is
also South American and that's why he can disappear from a match if things don't
go as he planned from the start," Helveg told BT.
"We can do several things: attack him when he gets the ball or wait, but as
he has a very good and dangerous shot, I think we will prefer the first
choice."
Of his previous battles with Recoba in Serie A Helveg said:"I don't remember
how it has ended up in the past but I can't imagine that I've lost the duel."
