Forlan has netted twice for the South Americans so far in the competition but Park is confident his side can contain him today.
"I have watched Forlan in the Spanish League and have seen how well he has played and how many times he has scored and just why he is seen as a good striker.
"He has a lot of good attributes to his game. We need to close him down because he is a threat as a striker. "
However, the 29-year-old says the Asians won't be focusing on any individuals in particular, but rather on breaking Uruguay down as a unit.u00a0 He continued: "But we won't focus on an individual. Their strength in this tournament is the way they have played as a team and we need to try and break this up."
