苍生劫

梅西最后有2个机会没把握住也很可惜，虽然不是绝对的机会，但梅西对起脚时机的选择还是有点犹豫，以他的能力处理好了是完全可能进球的。如果能打进，他和阿根廷的命运就会完全改变，可惜还是功亏一篑。

真怕梅西在国家队正赛不进球会成为一个魔咒，他现在在国家队射门时的决断力明显比巴萨差一些，心理多少还是有点问题。

能不犹豫嘛，在巴萨，丢了一次射门机会，过个5分钟又能找回来，在阿根廷，等下一次射门机会又不知道是什么时候的事了，2次机会，重新审视的话，也就第一次后插上比较可惜，第二次是禁区内混乱后的反弹球，拿到球时明显准备不足，另外反射神经还是挑射型的，那个球推个地滚球肯定进了，梅西对于挑射的执着是个问题了

到了后来，野兽换下KUN，回撤打中场，梅西顶到锋线，实在是很无厘头的一招，野兽虽然在中场可以拿住球，但创造力有限，传不到前锋线上去，等于浪费了梅西的作用，这和老马在世界杯下半时对德国用的招完全一模一样。

巴蒂斯塔绕了一大圈，其实他执教后的第一场比赛打苏格兰的中前场最靠谱，梅西右边锋，西瓜中锋，天使左边锋，三中场是巴内加，加戈，小马，现在无数比赛都说明了，这样的安排可能是对这些球员各自来说最合理的，另外他自己提拔的罗霍也并非不可一用，上半场如果多一个罗霍这样的高点，也不至于定位球时第一点全都抢不到，巴蒂斯塔这个鸟人可恶的地方在于，他也有清醒的时候，但是经常自我否定自我怀疑，先是被巴萨迷了心窍，然后又在特维斯的问题上首鼠两端，在大赛期间给阵容动大手术，最终彻底失败

今后无论怎么选材，首发中除了守门员，一定至少要有2个身高超过1米85的了，这是现代足球发展的必然趋势了，下限中的下限，像阿根廷这场比赛这样没有一个过1米85被头球砸死一点不冤，看着布尔迪索和米利托因为身高不够屡次跳起压人送任意球，就觉得这个队伍的防空已经是弱到极点了

看了上面ZM的分析 在阿根廷人数优势的时候 下半场可以果断换下kun 让天使去踢边路 换上拉维奇（梅西中场）或者比格利亚（梅西右边锋）感觉都值得尝试

野兽换下kun 用了这样一句评价 Carlos Tevez for Aguero late on didn’t really make any sense 。。。。

还有就是定位球防守 对方教练稍微职业点 都知道这是阿根廷的一大软肋

不是第一次大赛阵容大变化了，10世界杯也是这样，
这种现象绝不是出得了成绩的强队应该有的，只能说最近几年阿根廷足球不管场内还是场外都不太正常了。

Venezuela 2-1 Chile: Borghi’s changes put Chile on top, but set-piece vulnerability proves fatal
委内瑞拉2-1智利：博尔奇变阵助推智利，而定位球防守缺陷是致命的
July 18, 2011


The starting line-ups

Venezuela are through to the semi-finals after two goals from dead ball situations.

Cesar Farias’ defence and midfield were as expected – the only decision to make was upfront, where Miku played just off Giancarlo Maldonaldo, in a fairly basic 4-4-2.

Claudio Borghi was without Jean Beausejour, so Arturo Vidal moved out to the left and Carlos Carmona came into the centre of the pitch.

Chile were poor in the first half, then excellent in the second. Venezuela were never particularly inventive, but retained a threat from set-pieces – and that was enough for them to win the game.

First half

The first half of this game was flat, played at a slow tempo with few goalscoring chances created in open play. Venezuela were clearly expecting an early onslaught from Chile, but Borghi’s side struggled to get the ball into the opposition third of the pitch, or to penetrate the Venezuelan defence.

One of the major reasons for this was the Chilean midfield duo. With Vidal, usually the driving force from that zone (even if he didn’t enjoy a particularly sparkling tournament) shunted out to the left, Carmona and Gary Medel were essentially doing the same job deep in midfield – neither was moving forward or showing much quality on the ball, and the Chilean passing moves were too slow. With such a defensive-minded partnership there, the onus was on Luis Jiminez to link play, but he had a poor game.

The positive aspect of the midfield duo was that with Juan Arango and Cesar Gonzalez wanting to come into the centre of the pitch, Venezuela found it difficult to construct attacks, and were no threat themselves in open play.
Chile’s weakness, as seen in last summer’s World Cup, is a tendency to concede unnecessary fouls. One of these cheap free-kicks resulted in Venezuela’s goal, headed in by centre-back Oswaldo Vizcarrondo.

Second half


The line-ups at the start of the second half

Borghi’s obvious choice from the bench was Jorge Valdivia – not fit to start, but the creative midfielder Chile were missing. It was natural that he’d play as a number ten, Jiminez would move left, and Vidal would tuck inside. The decision was whether Medel or Carmona should depart, and it was a big error from Borghi to take off Carmona.

Medel is clearly the superior player, but he had picked up a booking shortly before half-time – and leaving him as the sole holder in such an attacking side was suicidal, especially as Venezuela were going to be looking to break through the middle. Medel is no stranger to bookings, and duly picked up a second yellow later in the half – it was almost as inevitable as Diego Perez’s second caution for Uruguay against Argentina, and shows that managers need to be alert to the threat of combative midfielders picking up second bookings.

The introduction of Valdivia was a huge boost, and he was the man who created many of Chile’s attacking moves in the second half – he hit the bar himself, and played some clever balls out to the flanks. His presence was not the only thing that made Chile better, however – they simply played quicker, higher up the pitch and much more direct – Venezuela were pinned back inside their own half, with the wide players playing much deeper.

Late developments

A second attack-minded Chilean change, Esteban Paredes on for Gonzalo Jara, with Vidal moving to the left of the back three, pushed them to a 3-1-3-3, similar to the formation Borghi reverted to against Mexico earlier in the competition. This gave them more width upfront, something they’d clearly lacked until the second substitution, with Alexis Sanchez as a right-sided forward, and Paredes on the left. Venezuela now had to deal with a different angle of attack, and Humberto Suazo became much more dangerous. He hit the bar after one ball in from the right, and then scored a very similar chance soon after.

Chile were in the ascendency, attacking with a lot of players and getting the ball down the flanks well, but it was ultimately their attacking changes that cost them the game at the back. First, Vidal, in his third position of the game, got caught out and had to concede the free-kick that resulted in Gabriel Cichero’s winner. Second, Medel was sent off.
Borghi’s changes had pushed Chile up the pitch, but also left them vulnerable at the back.

Conclusion
The first half here was a non-event – Venezuela were waiting to soak up pressure that never came. Chile only burst into life when they brought on Valdivia for the second half, and should have scored numerous times after his arrival.

Their vulnerability at free-kicks was partly a result of their approach – playing high up the pitch means that desperate tackles when out of position are always likely – but also simply ill discipline.

Ignore set-pieces and Chile were by far the better side, but such an obvious weakness was always likely to be a problem.

Brazil 0-0 Paraguay: Brazil fail to score in 120 minutes – then miss all their penalties too
巴西 0-0 巴拉圭：巴西败于120分钟得势不得分，接着又在点球战中全部罚丢
July 18, 2011


The starting line-ups

Paraguay are through to the semi-finals of the Copa America, having drawn all four games so far.

Gerardo Martino took the surprising decision of dropping Nestor Ortigoza, bringing in Victor Cacares in the centre of midfield. Roque Santa Cruz dropped out, with Nelson Valdez making his first start of the tournament.

Mano Menezes kept his XI from the 4-2 win over Ecuador, meaning Robinho retained his place on the right.

Score this one on points, and Brazil would be the winners. More possession, more shots and more clear goalscoring chances meant they were in the ascendency for the majority of the game.

Paraguay pressure

Martino’s tactics took Brazil by surprise early on. More accustomed to sitting back and soaking up pressure, Paraguay pressed Brazil heavily in the opening minutes, denying their midfielders time on the ball, and also paying particular attention to Lucio, to prevent him bringing the ball out of the back.

The decision to omit Ortigoza made sense in this respect, because he probably wouldn’t have had the mobility and energy to close down as well as Caceres did. The downside, though, was that Paraguay were fairly clueless when they actually had the ball, with a complete lack of imagination from the centre of midfield, and little contribution from Marcelo Estigarribia on the left.

In contrast to Paraguay, Brazil were much more relaxed without the ball. Their front four made little attempt to win the ball back, and Brazil had to build moves from deep.

Formations

In terms of formations, Paraguay continued their 4-4-2 / 4-5-1 shapethat depended upon the right-sided player, Valdez, acting as a second forward when moves developed. Brazil’s right-winger also played narrow, with Robinho drifting inside and playing some good combinations with other attacking players, as Brazil tried to play through the centre – the area where their two goals in the previous meeting with Paraguay came from.

The key battle was deep in Paraguay’s midfield, where Cristian Riveros did a good job nullifying Ganso. As we saw in Brazil’s opening game against Venezuela, take Ganso out of the equation in the 4-2-1-3, and Brazil are a broken side, with no link between midfield and attack. The first half never looked likely to produce goals.

Second half

Brazil improved hugely after half time. Paraguay’s pressing was no longer so evident, and Brazil passed much better as a result. They got the ball to the wide players on the run, and produced more chances, despite lacking cohesion between the front four – it all seemed improvised rather than organised.

That aside, there was a lack of tactical interest in the second half. Neither manager wanted to change things, though considering the fate of Chile’s Gary Medel and Uruguay’s Diego Perez, we should give credit to Martino for withdrawing Enrique Vera, who had picked up one yellow card and was in danger of another.

The only tactical changes made things more narrow, disappointingly – Hernan Perez, a winger, came on but played broadly through the middle behind Barrios, whilst Fred replaced Neymar with Pato moving left. Brazil’s tactics became a bit confused at this point, and Fred didn’t have the influence he exerted on his previous substitute appearance. Still, Brazil were the better side in the second half, and some wonderful saves from Justo Villar kept Paraguay in it. The tactical interest, however, was minimal.

Extra time

The double red card – Lucas and Antolin Alcaraz – should have opened things up, but instead simply forced both sides to play more defensive football. Menezes reacted by bringing on Elano for Pato to strengthen the midfield, whilst Martino, having used all three subs, put Dario Veron at centre-back and substitute right-midfielder Edgar Barreto at right-back, with Perez moving to the right wing in a 4-4-1. Both sides sat back and didn’t take advantage of the extra space.

Conclusion

The least exciting of the four quarter-finals, where Brazil couldn’t even manage to score from four penalty kicks.
Menezes has made some errors in this competition, but it’s difficult not to feel some sympathy for him here. The decision to pick Robinho (the only real choice he had to make) was broadly a success, and it’s difficult to fault his tactics for this particular game considering how many chances his side created, plus the fact that Julio Cesar rarely looked in danger of conceding.

Martino continues to use the same formation, but he showed here that he has the ability to vary his tactics. Paraguay were more proactive in the first half, but when they could no longer close down, they came under sustained pressure.

Argentina and Brazil lead the fall of the Copa América giants
There was a total absence of logic in the last eight as Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela made it into the semi-finals

The giants woke up, but only to be felled. When Argentina and Brazil scored seven goals between them in their third group games at the Copa América, it seemed they were slowly rousing themselves for the march to a meeting in the final that the organisers had done everything in their power to make inevitable. In their quarter-finals, though, the problems of the opening games returned. Both struggled to make domination of possession count, both lost on penalties, and both will look on a barely credible semi-final line-up and wonder why on earth they are not there.

Peru had begun a weekend of shocks with their extra-time victory over Colombia, Uruguay and Paraguay continued it with their shoot-out victories over the continent's giants and, as a full moon loomed over San Juan, Venezuela completed a full set of four quarter-final shocks, which seemed almost expected. Restaurateurs and hoteliers in Mendoza will be disappointed to have missed out on another Chilean invasion, while the rest of Argentina wallows in the gloom of another disappointment.

All the Copa adverts on television, featuring a smiling Lionel Messi and a goalscoring Carlos Tevez, feel oddly poignant now.

As Pablo Vignone wrote in Pagina 12, Argentina "paid too high a price" for failing to take advantage of the 20-minute spell in the first half when they were on top. Perhaps they were unlucky to come up against, in Nestor Muslera, a goalkeeper having the game of his life – his save late in normal time, when he kept out Tevez's deflected free-kick with a stretch of his left boot as he fell to his right, and then recovered to block Gonzalo Higuaín's follow-up with a Schmeichel-style star-jump, was exceptional – but Argentina invited disaster.

After Diego Pérez had been sent off six minutes before half-time, the game should have been Argentina's. They were, after all, already on top. But Oscar Washington Tabárez pulled Alvaro Pereira in off the left, reasoning presumably that he could afford to abandon that flank given Messi tucked infield anyway, and left Luis Suárez high up the pitch with Diego Forlan linking to midfield so there was always a goal-threat. As Argentina became increasingly irritated, they committed more and more fouls, to which the referee Carlos Amarilla (Charlie Yellow as his name has been mockingly translated) responded with a flurry of cards. Javier Mascherano was unfortunate in that the foul for which he picked up his second caution was no more than an inadvertent bump to the back of Suárez's calf – Alvaro Rios got away with far worse – but a red card for an Argentinian had felt as though it had been coming for a while.

"We had the dream of winning the Copa, all the more so because we were playing at home," said Mascherano. "In time we'll turn our heads to the [World Cup] qualifiers, but for now we have a great frustration and we are going really badly." That frustration was reflected in the papers, many of whom made great play of the fact that Messi hasn't scored in his last 16 competitive games for Argentina. Messi, though, is the one player who has been largely blameless in the debacle, brilliant against Costa Rica, and Argentina's best player against Uruguay.

Argentina failed to beat Uruguay for three reasons: a level of complacency after Pérez's dismissal; the brilliance of Muslera; and the tactical anarchy Sergio Batista introduced in the second half by bringing on Javier Pastore and Tevez, something that played into Tabárez's hands. Having packed the centre, what he would have dreaded was Argentina introducing width, playing Angel Di María wide, for instance, or encouraging Sergio Agüero or Messi to stick more to their touchlines. Bringing on Tevez, though, merely led to more of the "verticality", the unhelpful direct running of which Batista had been so critical after the draws against Bolivia and Colombia.

"Failure is a strong word," said Batista. "I wouldn't call this a failure." Which makes you wonder what he would call winning only one match of four at home, and that against Costa Rica's Under-23 side.

"The balance wasn't right, but that takes time and work." That the positive signs against Costa Rica weren't illusory was shown by the first half against Uruguay when, aside from their vulnerability to dead-balls, Argentina looked good. The question is what went wrong at half-time, and it's hard to know who to blame for that but Batista.

Ole was perhaps the harshest in its criticism. "It's not a journalistic assignment to demand that Batista be replaced," said its editorial. "It's an obligation."

He, though, has vowed to battle on, insisting that the Copa was only ever about preparation for the World Cup in 2014. The best preparation, though, would surely have been to win the tournament, and so end the 18-year wait for a trophy, clearing away the mood of anxiety and lifting the pressure of trophylessness. The production line will stop eventually; no country can keep on developing the likes of Messi, Tevez, Agüero, Juan Roman Riquelme, Pablo Aimar, Javier Saviola and Ariel Ortega indefinitely; these are generations that cannot be wasted.

Uruguay, meanwhile, tough, dogged and tactically intelligent go on. The concept of "garra" – literally "claw", but combining mental-strength, streetwiseness, courage and perhaps best summarised as "the ability to win" — is perhaps over-discussed, but on Saturday night only one side had it. On the 61st anniversary of Uruguay's 1950 World Cup victory, when they beat Brazil in Brazil, they perhaps felt inspired once again to beat the odds and the hosts. The Uruguayan paper La República gloried in the anniversary. "The ghost of the Maracanã was raised at the Elephants' Graveyard, as July 16 deserved ... Again a stadium was struck dumb."

Uruguay could hardly have imagined their semi-final opponents. Peru finished bottom of World Cup qualifying and lost Claudio Pizarro and Jefferson Farfán to injury before the tournament, but they have been admirably disciplined, with Paolo Guerrero superb as a (very) lone front man. Perhaps they have been imbued with garra by their Uruguayan coach, Sergio Markarián, who once coached Tabárez, at 64 two years his junior, at Bella Vista. . Colombia had given the impression in the group stage of playing within themselves, of doing just enough, but when they needed to against Peru it turned out they had no other gear. They had their chances, Radamel Falcao missing a generous penalty, and Dayro Moreno spanking a drive against the post, but they were undone by two pieces of poor goalkeeping from Luis Martínez.

The favourites kept on falling. Brazil dominated their game against Paraguay but having been denied by committed and intelligent defending and some inspired goalkeeping from Justo Villar, they were beaten on penalties. "You need more than will to win matches," said Brazil's coach Mano Menezes, although he too offered the excuse of preparation for the World Cup. It probably isn't intended as such, but for Brazil and Argentina both to make such a play of preparing for the future does slightly demean their opponents; perhaps after two successive finals between the giants that attitude is understandable, and in that regard at least the absence of the favourites from the last four is probably a good thing.

Whether it signifies the strength in depth of South American football or the lack of quality at the top is hard to say; the pre-emptive excuse Argentina and Brazil offered works. Neymar and Ganso, perhaps, wouldn't have been blooded quite so young had it not been that Brazil, as World Cup hosts, now won't play a competitive match until the Confederations Cup in 2013. Both were inconsistent, impressing only fleetingly, but the bigger problems were at the back.

Daniel Alves's lack of defensive quality was exposed in the group game against Paraguay by Marcelo Estigarribia, and the fact the left-winger was far less effective against Maicon on Sunday only highlighted how poor Alves had been. Estigarribia himself is keen on a move to the Premier League. He spent last season on loan at Newell's Old Boys, with his English agent Barry Thomas suggesting it would cost only around £1.5m to sign him from Le Mans.

In the semi-final, Paraguay face Venezuela, who rode out an astonishing spell of Chile pressure on Sunday night before pinching a winner. The vinotintos took the lead five minutes before half-time as Oswaldo Vizcarrondo met Juan Arango's free-kick with a powerful header, but they were besieged in the second half, Chile twice hitting the woodwork and equalising through Humberto Suazo before another free-kick led to Gabriel Cichero stabbing the winner. The loss of Tomás Rincón to suspension after he was red carded – harshly – after a clash with Jorge Valdivia is a severe blow, but that couldn't dampen the celebrations after reaching the last four for the first time. The president Hugo Chávez tweeted his congratulations from Cuba, where he is undergoing chemotherapy.

After the final round of group games, La Nacíon hailed the return of "pure logic " to the tournament. That disappeared again over the weekend.

Jonathan Wilson：阿根廷与巴西：美洲杯巨人的陨落
由 kaminosin 发表在GoalHi足球·翻译团-足球

昨晚巴拉圭、秘鲁、乌拉圭和委内瑞拉进入半决赛，这实在是让人摸不着头脑。

巨人觉醒了，却以倒下结束征程。当阿根廷和巴西在美洲杯小组赛第三轮一共进了7球时，看上去他们俩在慢慢苏醒，准备开始前行并在决赛相会，这交锋可是组织者倾尽全力想要实现的啊。但在他们各自的四分之一决赛里，他们在美洲杯开始阶段的问题又回来了。两个都企图将控球的优势转化为进球，都败在点球大战，都得眼睁睁地瞅着一个难以置信的半决赛对阵形势，并在心里嘀咕着，究竟凭什么自己不在那儿。

秘鲁以加时赛战胜哥伦比亚揭开了一个爆冷周末的序幕，乌拉圭和巴拉圭则以点球战胜南美大陆的两个巨人继续给我们以意外，而伴着一轮圆月高悬圣胡安的天空，委内瑞拉为连续四场四分之一决赛的惊奇系列献上了一个完美大结局，而这几乎是人们意料之中的了。门多萨的饭店和旅馆将为失去又一轮的智利人入侵而失望，同时阿根廷其他各地的人们会沉溺在另一种挫败之中。

电视上所有美洲杯的广告，上面突出一个微笑的梅西和一个射门得分的特维斯，现在再看时还真让人心酸。

如同Pablo Vignone在《第十二页报》上写道的，阿根廷为他们没能好好利用上半场占上风的那20分钟时间“付出了太高的代价”。也许他们是运气太差，遇到了穆斯莱拉这个风水转到他那儿的门将——他在90分钟将尽时的那次扑救是现象级的，那次他摔向身体右边，却用伸展的左脚挡出了特维斯经过折射的任意球，之后又回过身来以一记舒梅切尔式的招牌跳跃扑出了伊瓜因的补射——但阿根廷是自己招灾上门的。

离中场还剩分钟时佩雷斯被罚下，之后的比赛应该是被阿根廷稳稳拿住的，毕竟他们已经占据上风了。但主教练塔巴雷斯将佩雷拉调到左边，其中原因可能是他考虑到梅西一定会内切到中路，便可以放弃那一翼，同时他将苏亚雷斯留在前场，让弗兰连接中场，于是总还有个进攻威胁点。而阿根廷变得越来越急躁，犯了越来越多的规，对此当值主裁卡洛斯-阿马里拉（他的名字被恶搞地翻成了“黄牌查理”）以一阵黄牌雨回应他们。马斯切拉诺那次犯规运气真不好，他本来不是故意的碰到了苏亚雷斯大腿背，但吃到了第二张黄牌——阿尔法罗-里奥斯情节更严重却逃过一劫——但该阿根廷人拿的一张红牌似乎已经等了半天了。

“我们曾梦想举起美洲杯，而因我们主场作战就更想实现它了，”马斯切拉诺说。“我们会及时调整注意力到（世界杯）预选赛上，但眼下我们非常沮丧，很糟糕地离场而去。”许多报纸都反映出了这种沮丧，而他们也大肆发挥着一个事实，即梅西在他连续16场代表阿根廷国家队的比赛中，没有进过一个球。尽管梅西在这场大溃败中，很大程度上是那个不该被指责的人，他对哥斯达黎加时表现出众，对乌拉圭时则是阿根廷的最佳球员。

阿根廷没能击败乌拉圭有3个原因：佩雷斯被罚下场后过于自满，穆斯莱拉表现神勇，以及巴蒂斯塔在下半场换上帕斯拖雷和特维斯后导致的战术混乱，而这正中塔巴雷斯下怀。让中路收得紧之后，他害怕的是阿根廷会利用宽度，比如让迪马利亚拉边，或者鼓励阿奎罗或梅西更靠近各自所在的边线。而换上特维斯只是增加了“纵向力度”，这种无益的直捣黄龙正是巴蒂斯塔在连平玻利维亚和哥伦比亚后被猛烈批评的地方。

“‘失败’这个词言重了，”巴蒂斯塔说，“我不会称这一次是一个失败。”这不得不让人浮想，他会说什么样的成绩是成功的呢，他领导的四场主场作战只有一场胜利，，而且这一场还是对阵哥斯达黎加23岁以下青年队。

“球队还不平衡，而这需要时间和努力。”阿根廷在对乌拉圭的上半场时除了定位球其他表现良好，表明他们之前对哥斯达黎加展现出的好兆头不是什么幻觉。问题在于中场时他们出了什么毛病，也很难搞清楚除了巴蒂斯塔之外，还有谁该受批评。

奥莱报可能是批评最为严厉的了。“要求巴蒂斯塔下课不再单是记者们的日常工作了，”它的评论文章如是说，“这是我们应尽的责任。”

但他誓愿继续战斗，坚称美洲杯只是为2014年世界杯作准备。而最好的准备工作当然是赢下这个锦标赛，结束对冠军18年的等待，排解焦虑的心情，释放无冠的压力。阿根廷的球星生产线终将停止，没有国家能无限制地培养出梅西、特维斯、阿奎罗、里克尔梅、艾马尔、萨维奥拉和奥特加这样的球员，他们这几代人的才华不可以被挥霍。

与此同时，乌拉圭坚韧，顽强，战术上明智。“garra”的概念——字面意思是“利爪”，是将强大的精神、困境求生的本领、勇气和大概最好概括为“获胜的能力”杂揉在一起的词——也许已经说得太多了，但在周六晚上只有一支球员有着这种气质。1950年乌拉圭在巴西战胜巴西队并赢得世界杯，在这胜利的61周年之际，也许他们再一次灵感迸发，足以战胜命运和东道主。乌拉圭报纸《共和国报》赞美了这周年纪念。“马拉卡纳球场的灵魂再临大象墓地球场，这是7月16日应得的，又一次整个体育场陷入沉默。”

乌拉圭很难猜到他们半决赛的对手。秘鲁在世界杯预选赛中垫底，而在美洲杯开赛之前皮萨罗和法尔范因伤缺阵，但他们纪律性好得让人竖起大拇指，格雷罗一个人（非常）孤单地顶在前面，踢得很棒。也许他们的乌拉圭籍教练马卡里安给他们注入了garra之气，他曾经在Bella Vista执教过塔巴雷斯，现在64岁的塔巴雷斯比他小2岁。哥伦比亚在小组赛阶段给人的印象是他们执着于自己的打法，什么事情都做得刚刚好，当他们面对比秘鲁时结果却是他们没有其他的招数了。他们也有机会，法尔考罚失了一个裁判慷慨判罚的点球，莫雷诺射了一脚奔向门柱，而他们是被路易斯-马丁内斯两个并不漂亮的扑救拒之门外的。

热门球队相继出局。巴西对巴拉圭时控制了比赛，但因对手坚定和聪明的防守，以及胡斯托-比利亚尔灵光一闪的扑救而无功而返，最后败在点球大战中。“想要赢球你需要除了意志之外的东西，”巴西教练梅内塞斯如是说，而他也用了“为世界杯作准备”这借口。也许他们本意并非如此，但对巴西和阿根廷而言，为未来作准备却踢出了这样的足球，是有点儿贬低他们对手的味道了；也许在连着两场巨人参加的淘汰赛之后，我们可以理解这种心态了，这样看来至少四强中没有夺冠热门还是件好事。

很难说这能代表南美足球整体的实力，还是表明他们的“顶级水平”名不副实；阿根廷和巴西所用的那种降低人们预期的借口的确有效。如果内马尔和甘索不在巴西的话，他们也许不会这么年纪轻轻就上战场，作为下一届世界杯东道主的巴西在2013年联合会杯之前都不会真刀真枪地比赛。这两支球队自身都不协调，闪光的表现转瞬即逝，背后还有更大的问题。

小组赛巴西对巴拉圭时，马塞洛-埃斯蒂加利维亚让阿尔维斯防守能力不行的问题暴露了出来，而周日比赛那个遇上麦孔的左边锋碌碌无为的表现，只能突显出阿尔维斯有多糟糕。埃斯蒂加利维亚很可能前往英超。上赛季他是租借到纽维尔老男孩，他的英国经纪人巴里-托马斯说只要150万欧就能从勒芒签下他。

在半决赛巴拉圭将对阵委内瑞拉，后者在周日晚上顶住了智力强大的攻势，终获胜利。中场前5分钟委内瑞拉人取得领先，维斯卡朗度接到胡安-阿朗戈的任意球后一记强力头槌破门，但他们在下半场遭到围攻，智利两次中柱，并靠苏亚佐扳平比分，但之后又是一个任意球让西切罗打入制胜球。林孔在与巴尔迪维亚冲撞后被无情地红牌罚下，他缺席下一场对委内瑞拉是一个不小的打击，但这不会影响他们首次进入四强的庆祝。在古巴接受化疗的总统查韦斯也发来贺电。

在小组赛最后一轮过后，阿根廷《民族报》为“纯粹的逻辑”的回归而喝彩，本周末之后这东西又消失不见了。

这句话太经典 ...

巴蒂斯塔的心态其实是可以猜测的，他是那种一有机会就要保守的人，上半场后半段乌拉圭用快速通过中场发动的定位球攻势把他吓坏了，所以他不敢把回追反抢能力强的迪马里亚调到边路去突击，反而加强了他的反抢要求，下半场前半段乌拉圭的反击势头的确有所遏制，但无疑阿根廷付出了牺牲进攻的巨大代价，连续的攻势消失了，取而代之是节奏混乱的中场拉锯战，巴蒂斯塔赌这种局面能至少让多一人的阿根廷再进一个球从而经济安全的赢下比赛。

巴蒂斯塔的总体思路是保守，上特维斯也是想在攻的同时再拼抢一下，确保球权，总之他是个迈一步，退半步的人

如果阿根廷有完善的后防体系，实力坚强的后卫，其实巴蒂斯塔这种胆小保守的教练不是不行的，但是这次实在是后防线太渣了，世界杯上可能是防守体系的问题，这次更多的是人员上真的不行，楞是抢不到第一点，啥办法也没用

上半场丢球后到伊瓜因的进球被取消这么大约30分钟时间，球队打的非常好，连续攻势隐约有巴萨的感觉，乌拉圭的球基本上不过中线就给抢断下来，进球也是中卫大胆压到中线附近上抢后发动的，这是因为全队思路统一，除了强攻别无他法，下半场突然节奏乱了，很可能跟教练中场灌输了些防守的要求，导致球员在场上有点不知所措，思路混乱

中场在更衣室里Sergio Batista布置了些什么没人知道

或许过些日子会有球员爆料或炮轰


不过塔瓦雷斯确实是作了些有意义的调整
