Uruguay vs. Peru – Half Time Report – Copa America 2011

Uruguay vs. Peru

After the two favourite teams in the Copa America 2011, Brazil and Argentina, drew their matches in the tournament, it was up to the second favourite team, Uruguay, to do wonders. With a star-studded attack consisting of the FIFA World Cup 2010’s golden ball winner, Diego Forlan and the World Cup hero Luis Suarez along with the Napoli star Edinson Cavani, Uruguay are considered to be one of the teams who can pull off an upset.

Uruguay faced Peru in San Juan. Both the teams fielded an attacking line-up and none of them settled deep during the first half as referee W. Roldan blew the whistle to start the game.

The Uruguayan coach, Oscar Tabarez had to change his formation to a 4-3-3. This system was different that what he played during the FIFA World Cup 2010. Since he has three strikers who are hungry for goals, he decided to field all of them on the pitch.

Fernando Muslera played between the two poles as the Uruguayan goal stopper. The Uruguayan goalkeeper was aided by four defenders. Mauricio Victorino played as a left full back while Maximiliano Pereira played on the right back position. Martin Caceres was partnered by Diego Lugano in the centre back position.

With a 4-3-3 formation, one of the players in the midfield played as a holding midfield; one as a central midfielder while the third one operated as an attacking midfielder. Egidio Arevalo played in the holding midfield position. He was assisted by Diego Perez in the central midfield role. Nicolas Lodeiro was the attacking midfielder for the Uruguayans.

The three man attack consisted of Edinson Cavani – Napoli’s last season’s goal scoring sensation; Diego Forlan – the Uruguayan captain and the man who singlehandedly took his country to the semi finals of the FIFA World Cup 2010; and Luis Suarez – the man who helped the team with his infamous handball against Ghana.

With such an extraordinary striking line-up, the Uruguayans were expected to win the game. However, the Peru coach, Sergio Apraham Markarian, also fielded a 4-3-3 formation and showed that his team wasn’t like other under-rated teams in the competition and he came forward and played an attacking line-up.

Raul Fernandez was the player who stood guard between the two poles as the goalkeeper for Peru. He was aided by four defenders – Enzo Revoredo, who played a right back; Walter Vilchez, who played as a left back; Alberto Rodriguez and Santiago Acasiete, who played as centre backs.

Michael Guevara played in the holding midfield position. Guevara was aided by two more midfielder; namely, Adan Alonso Balbin and Paulo Cruzado.

The three strikers playing for Peru were: the left winger, Jose Paulo Guerrero; the right winger, Luis Advincula; and the centre striker Victor Yotun.

The first half was all about Uruguay’s outstanding and star-studded strikers. However, Peru were the first ones to lead the game. Despite a bright start, Uruguayans were the first ones to lose the lead during the 24th minute when Guerrero was played clean through by Michael Guevara and the Uruguayan defence was caught sleeping. Guerrero received the ball clearly right in front of the goalkeeper, easily went around him and found the back of the net.

The match was quite even after the goal. Peru did not really sit back and allowed Uruguay to settle into the game. However, the team led by Diego Forlan finally found the back of the net at the edge of the first half.

It was the Liverpool hero Luis Suarez who given an exquisite through ball by Lodeiro. Suarez easily spun off the defender’s shoulder and coolly finished to find the back of the net.

With the score level in the first half, it clearly showed how both the teams were involved throughout the game. Both of them played outstanding football and even though Uruguay were the favourites to win the game, Peru did not really settle deep to allow the Uruguayans to come at them.

Argentina 0 Colombia 0: Messi misfires yet again as hosts battle to avoid early exit

Argentina's passage to the knock-out stage of the Copa America is in jeopardy after the hosts were held to a 0-0 draw by Colombia in another disappointing performance by Lionel Messi and his big-name teammates.

Coach Sergio Batista stuck with a similar side to the one that drew Argentina's opening game against Bolivia, and were again led by a misfiring Messi and Carlos Tevez.

Argentina's two star forwards were outplayed by Colombia strikers Radamel Falcao and Dayro Moreno, who had more chances and perhaps should have handed their team victory.

Cristiano Ronaldo gave his first press conference as a Real Madrid player right after his official presentation.

What position would you like to play in?
I haven’t always played as a striker. I prefer to play down the wing, but I wouldn’t mind playing as a striker.
What word defines your presentation day?
Impressive.

Is it going to be hard for you to sleep today?
I’m sure I’ll sleep well. I’m tired.

What did you think of when you saw 80,000 people at the stadium?
It was a beautiful sensation. I loved it. I didn’t expect the stadium to be full. This is a dream come true. I thought of my parents. I felt the fans are fond of me already. I want to pay them back for that. I know I’ll feel more pressure here than at Manchester United, but I have faith in myself and I am ambitious. I want the league to begin to do my absolute best.

What would you like to say to the people at Manchester United?
I think about my former team-mates and bosses. I had a great relationship with them for six years. My team-mates respect my decision. Real Madrid is a dream and a great challenge to me. This is my new home and I will give 100% for this shirt.

What did Di Stefano say to you?
It was very special to meet him. He is a legend. It was the same as meeting Bobby Charlton at Manchester United. He wished me luck. I am very grateful to him. It was one of the best moments of my life.

What do you think of the money your transfer has cost?
I’ve always said a club must pay a lot of money to get the best players. I want to prove that they made the right decision. I understand many of the comments that have been made, but I’m happy for being the most expensive player in the Club’s history. It makes me feel proud.

Did you think about how hard it’s been for you to get here when you entered the dressing room?
Yes. To play for Real Madrid was my life’s ambition. I wanted to change clubs and this is the one I regard to be the best. It is special to kiss this shirt for the first time. I felt special emotions.

Will you make Real Madrid win the European Cup again?
I won’t play alone. I will be part of the team and I will do my best to help it win the Champions League. We have a great team and a great coach. We will take things slowly at first and then we’ll think about the Champions League. We have to do a good job

FC Barcelona Players - Lionel Messi

If any player can be said to be the natural successor to Diego Maradona, then surely it must be Lionel Messi.
Born in 1987, he signed for Barcelona from Newell's Old Boys of Argentina at 13 years of age, and since that time Messi has been marked for super stardom. But for a niggling succession of injuries, he surely would have been a Ballon D'Or winner by now.
What has always singled out 'Leo' as being special is his ability to dribble at speed with the ball under perfect control. Although primarily a winger, he can play more central or even deeper but, whatever his position, when he has the ball at his feet, the fans always expect something special from him.
Since scoring his first league goal for Barça in May, 2005 Messi has become a talisman for the team - his modest attitude off the pitch and his constant praising of the work of his team mates ensuring that the fans always hold him in the highest esteem.
Life wasn't always easy for Messi, though, despite his prodigious talent. As a youngster, Lionel suffered from a growth preventing hormonal disorder - Barcelona helped tempt him to Spain by paying for his medical treatment. This short stature, ironically, has enabled Leo to have that low centre of gravity that enables him to weave through defences.
Despite being wooed by the Spanish national team, Messi has always been eager to represent the country of his birth - he was voted player of the tournament in the Under 20 World Cup in 2005, where he was also top goal scorer. In the 2007 Copa America he was voted young player of the tournament. He was not afraid to let it be known how desperate he was to represent Argentina in the 2008 Olympic Games and although Barcelona appeared reluctant at first to release him, he ultimately helped Argentina win the gold medal - creating the only goal of the final in the process.
Playing for the national team hasn't brought constant success, however. On his international debut, against Hungary in 2005, Messi came on as substitute in the second half and was sent off 40 seconds later - allegedly elbowing the defender who was tugging his shirt to hold him back. Then, in the 2006 World Cup, Pekerman, the coach, was the subject of immense criticism from fans because of his seeming reluctance to play Messi in what was, for the Argentines, a disappointing tournament
