The 2011 edition of the Copa America left us a special taste. On the one hand, the failure of the favorites Brazil and hosts Argentina, who reminded us that it is the extraordinary roster of players, the technical work is essential and irreplaceable.
Brazil showed us no jogo bonito, as dragging the ugly stage with Dunga as coach. Menezes was attempted to be more offensive, but clearly and with a defense that was leaking.
Meanwhile, with Batista as Argentina coach was disappointing from head to toe. Despite having attackers luxury, never caught on a collective rather than individuals.
It has therefore been more than just the victory of Uruguay in the tournament. Celeste was simply the best selection. Unlike the aforementioned teams, never lost her courage, and all worked jointly as a unified and strong.
The famous Uruguayan claw was seen once more, showing that the fourth place obtained in the last World Cup was no matter of chance but a sustained work. It also has two large props such as Luis Suarez and Diego Forlan, important both in the final as in previous meetings.
In no time his final opponent, is Paraguay, was at his height. The game mean and virtuosity of the Guarani no way they bill, and neither the traditionally strong defense was able to make a difference. Sorry for the 'Tata' Martino, who raised the wrong party. Uruguay won the title number 15 in the Copa America, and as they may be emerging as a resurgent power of soccer in South America, after being overshadowed for years by Brazil and Argentina are now in decline.
We can not fail to mention the surprises of the contest. On one side was Peru, which ended in third place and may even give more. Without the presence of its most media Farfan and Pizarro, who put the team and the shoulder were Guerrero and Vargas, very outstanding performances of men slaughtered Chiroque, one of the best in the Cup
The mentioned Guerrero is in the crosshairs of European clubs after stand as the top scorer of the tournament. Peruvian defense was also very efficient ... all thanks to the arrival of coach Sergio Markarian capable.
Impossible to ignore Venezuela, with a more sustained Peru (takes more time with his coach Farias) also achieved recognition as one of the best teams. A great improvement is experienced by the Vinotinto and Arango veterans have joined the strikers Miku Fedor, Rondon and midfielder Rincon. If one of the Cinderellas of the Latin American football, have surprised and wanting more.
Two selectionsthat much was expected, namely Colombia and Chile, they stumble in games 'accessible' in theory. And the guests of the CONCACAF, Mexico and Costa Rica, simply did not measure up.
