Endangered Quality of Cup America Chile-2015

La Serena, Chile - When we speak of César Luis Menotti we immediately land in a soccer court, and if he says that quality of Cup America Chile-2015 is in danger as it has its kick-off today, then we must meditate.

I can't imagine that in a great play, the actor arrives four days before making his debut in the role of Hamlet, alerted "the Skiinny One", permanent critic of the world soccer calendar, which takes players to the limit of their physical capacities.

For example, Argentinean Lionel Messi, or what is the synonim, the best player in the world, arrived Tuesday to Chile after a transoceanic trip from Barcelona, to make his debut against Paraguay next Saturday.

Messi arrives with thousands of minutes in his legs, exactly five thousand 85 distributed in 57 games played this season, besides the mental fatigue that implies to have disputed until the ebd all competitions (with the incentive of winning them all: Triple the Spanish League, Cup of the King and Champions).

This big physical wear and tear could reduce his potentialities and, undoubtedly, will take glow from the competition because most of the players are in the same condition, without even having the same skills as the Argentinean genius.

To top it all, the calendar of the Cup America schedules games every three days in the groups phase, something that will benefit the squads with more spare players in their roster and will damage the small teams, dependent on a small nucleus of players to go forward.

Messi comes out of a final like the Champions and has to play in another way and other teammates. Colombian James Rodriguez is a great soccer player but he comes from playing in 10 different positions in the Real Madrid, explained Menotti who took Argentina to its first world title in 1978.

Adapting to strategies of their national coaches will be limited because the players will not be able to catch all the automatisms of the tactical operation with so Little training.

For this reason, in the race for the throne of America, Menotti thinks the selections of Chile, Colombia and Uruguay will have the best performances because they have clear and mnore consolidated ideas.

Despite the criteria of Menottim, the Argentina of Messi abnd the Brazil of Neymar come out favorites in the bets to get the Crown, although certainly at present they are teams without a definite identity.
