Uruguay, Peru, Venezuela and Paraguay were the top four of the last edition of the Copa America. Missing the two giants of South American football. Brazil and Argentina disappointed in the championship won by Uruguay, a tournament that meant the chance to forget World Cup disappointment, but to scare away ghosts made these multiply. To retrieve the path of victory, the coaches of both teams have turned to two old rockers like Ronaldinho and Riquelme, who exhaust their days of football in their respective countries.
Brazil played a friendly on September 5 next to Ghana, and Argentina will do the same to Venezuela and Nigeria in the early days of next month. In the Vinotinto will debut the new coach albiceleste, Alejandro Sabella, a former coach of Estudiantes. However, the call where Riquelme is included as part of the expedition will face Brazil in just 14 and 28 March.
The calls are different, because although at Venezuela and Nigeria will feature the biggest stars , with Brazil has made an exclusive list of players in the league Argentina . Brazil is expected to do the same, not the calendar to count the stars. However surprising call from Riquelme, who accumulated three years out of football after going in October 2008 against Uruguay when he was the coach Basile. Maradona told not to or for Batista. Meanwhile, Ronaldinho was not wearing the canarinha nine months, when in November last year just played against Argentina.
Things have changed for the Brazilian, who has regained her smile, the wisdom, relevance and line up in the ranks of Flamengo. The prize is the coveted return to the selection. Ronaldinho, 31, has become one of the best players in the local championship and is the second top scorer, as well as leader of his club. Menezes trust him to lead the new star of Brazilian football as Neymar, Goose or Luke. Brazil lacks a leader, that reference to turn to in difficult times, and it has had to look back. So things are going in the five-time world. ¿Patch or solution? The truth is that Ronnie would come the next 34 years worldwide.
Meanwhile, Riquelme, 33, that figure makes up so much longing in Argentina today as is the hitch. That has to take Messi and prevents you from being as close to the area as in Barcelona. A Pastore is too big for the albiceleste, they say. After a season of former irregular Villarreal, he is expected back on the set to lead Boca Boca Juniors and convinces Sabella seems to contribute to a lack of players Argentina team-building in the center of the field. Will not be alone in the task: Veron figure well known student who Sabella, is in the call.
This will double clash against Brazil, one in each house. Friendlies are of little use to their coaches because they can not have their usual, but with combined local circumstances. They may well see other players closely, and this is certainly an opportunity, but practicality is poor after a defined block to create and refine aspects of equipment. Yes, the pockets of some increase suspiciously.
Finally, note that Real Madrid's Marcelo returns to the list of Brazil after the controversy caused by his refusal to go to a previous game. Hulk will also be absent in the Copa America, and the young lateral Danilo, recently signed for FC Porto and played the final of the FIFA U-20 on Saturday. By albiceleste, Venezuela and Nigeria before returning the central Malaga Salvio Demichelis and athletic.
