On Monday morning, the Copa America final will be a great one, with Argentina and Colombia set to battle it out for the title
.
Since entering 2024, Argentina has won all 9 games. During this period, the team performed well on both offense and defense. There were 6 games with at least 2 goals in a single game, and 6 games with zero shutouts. Their strength in American football is evident. In the last game against Canada, coach Scaloni chose to let Julian Everis and Liannu Meis partner up. The effect of this change of formation was also very significant. Both of them scored goals in the game. The performance of the two forwards in this game is worth looking forward to. As for Colombia, the team defeated Uruguay with a slight advantage of 1-0 in the last game with Jefferson Lima 's goal and advanced to the final. At the same time, the price of advancement was also quite high. Daniel Melus was sent off with a red card in the first half and missed the Copa America final. This kid is an important member of Colombia's back line. The team's defensive skills are inevitably declining. In addition, they have not been able to win against Argentina in the past 3 times. Colombia, which is at a disadvantage psychologically, is in a bad situation this time.
Team leader comparison
The World Cup victory has proven that Lionel Sebastian Scaloni is the best choice for Argentina's head coach position. Under his leadership, Argentina has won 56 of 74 games. The change in formation in the last game was effective, which also demonstrated Scaloni's excellent dispatching ability. Although Nestor Lorenzo has not coached Colombia for a long time, Colombia under his command has not lost in 25 games. It is very appropriate to describe his coaching ability as "turning stone into gold". However, Nestor Lorenzo prefers the same formation. Now that Daniel Melus is suspended, his ability to adjust the lineup will be tested. The competition between Scaloni and Nestor Lorenzo in on-the-spot dispatching is also a highlight of this game.
Key players
Both Leonor Messi and James Rodriguez are very good at creating offensive opportunities, but Leonor Messi, as a striker, prefers to attack independently, while James Rodriguez , as a midfielder , is better at opening up the offensive situation through passing. He played in all five games of this Copa America and was selected as the best player in four games. In the last game, he broke Leonor Messi 's record for assists in a single Copa America. This game is also the first time that the two have met in the Copa America final.
