The Official Copa 7-1bertadores 2015 Thread
by Rebaño Sagrado Tue Feb 03, 2015 8:13 pm
Qualifying rounds start tonight. On the Mexican side there is not much hope as usual. Tuca could care less even though he has one of the deepest squads in the league, and Morelia has had a terrible start and is still without a win in the league. I think Atlas has the best chance of making it out of the group. Tomás Boy is a strong minded guy who will want to do will in any competition.
I don't follow South American football besides this and the Mexican league, but i found this article on players to watch for the tournament, and more if you're interested.
- Young Players to Watch:
Here's the link: http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/2015/2/3/7970179/copa-libertadores-2015-preview-how-to-watch
Giovanni Simeone (FW, River Plate) - The son of Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone is currently the hottest of River's crazy group of top kids. He's the leading scorer in the South American Youth Championships right now, with seven goals. Second best? Four. Not bad for the son of a tough-tackling defensive midfielder.
Cristian Espinoza (FW, Huracan) - Espinoza might play for the weakest of the Argentinian teams in Copa Lib, but that's also why he's one of the most experienced teenagers in this tournament. Espinoza usually plays out on the right wing, and he already has a couple season's worth of pro games under his belt. He's only 19, but he's more Europe-ready than most 22-year-olds in the Libertadores.
Gaston Gil Romero (MF, Estudiantes) - The modern central midfielder is a player who's asked to do a bit of everything, and Romero fits the mold. He's not a true holder or playmaker, but an energetic and intelligent player who's a solid passer and ball-winner. He's versatile, and his value in the future will be his ability to fit into virtually any kind of team.
Adrian Centurion (MF, Sao Paulo) - The 22-year-old midfielder led Racing to a rare Argentine championship. His skill level and quickness were overwhelming for Argentina's top teams, and he became a star. After being almost sold to everywhere, he finally landed at São Paulo. Although his new club doesn't have a great track record when it comes to foreign player success, his ability to score, dribble and create are enough to prove he is a great signing for a title contender. And with Kaka gone, he should get chances to shine.
Auro (DF, Sao Paulo) - Auro, a 19-year-old right back, is one of the most promising players to come out of São Paulo's youth system in a long time. He earned a promotion to the senior team last year and impressed with his offensive awareness, speed and passing. His lack of defensive contributions led to his benching at the end of 2014, but his coach has praised him for his off-season work. Auro could finally become a regular piece of the starting lineup, and he might be a big surprise in the Libertadores.
Malcom (FW, Corinthians) - The Corinthians support striker became a starter at the end of 2014, and he delivered an exciting set of performances with his defensive skills, goal-scoring ability and work ethic. He is going to be 18 in a few days, which is absolutely nuts. The coaching change at Corinthians and a new style of play could favor a player with his characteristics, and he's a potential breakout star in 2015. He's been the biggest shining star on Brazil's South American Youth Championships team.
Eduardo Henrique (MF, Atletico Mineiro) - When Atlético Mineiro was destroyed by injuries late last year, coach Levir Culpi was forced to look to his youth system in search of a midfielder. He found Eduardo Henrique, a defensive midfielder that showed a lot of promise but didn't have many opportunities with the previous senior team coaches. Under Culpi, Eduardo gained confidence and absolutely owned his spot from then on. He's a fierce defender who also has a sweet passing game. He's a bit raw, which is understandable since he's 19, but there's a lot of room for improvement.
Cristian Cuevas (LM/LB, Universidad de Chile) - One of numerous Chelsea youth players on loan around the globe, Cuevas has stalled slightly since leaving O'Higgins. But he did start to get some significant time in against adults in the Dutch Ereste Divisie, and could be a key player for La U in this tournament. He's been one of Chile U-20's top players for nearly three years now, and his ability to play as a wide forward or left back gives La U manager Martín Lasarte a lot of options.
Sergio Diaz (FW, Cerro Porteño) - Perhaps the biggest youth prospect in the history of Paraguayan football, Diaz is already a spectacular player for Cerro and Paraguay U-20, despite having just turned 16 in December. He's a very complete forward despite his small size and young age, which has led to comparisons to Sergio Aguero. He might sign for one of Europe's biggest clubs before he even plays in the tournament.
Danilo Santacruz (FW, Libertad) - Santacruz has arguably stalled a tad since bursting on the scene, but the 19-year-old wide man is still one of the best teenage talents likely to get regular playing time in the Libertadores, and he can earn himself a big move with an excellent tournament. He's a powerful winger with some experience playing inside as well, and he's got a solid goal-scoring record for a wide player.
Brayan Rovira (MF, Atletico Nacional) - Most of Colombia's top youth talent is either on smaller clubs or already in Europe, but Rovira has a chance to make a name for himself in the Libertadores. He can play in the center of midfield or a bit farther up the pitch, and his ability to play two positions could lead to some opportunities to come off the bench. Atletico Nacional are a very experienced team and can afford to give an 18-year-old prospect some games among the adults.
Gaston Pereiro (MF, Nacional) - A promising 19-year-old, Pereiro is a talented midfielder with a wide range of skills, and his performances have drawn interest from big clubs from Europe like Atlético Madrid and Juventus. A capable scorer and a smart passer, he usually beats his opponents with his speed and intelligent changes of pace, and while the squad around him is not good enough to compete for a deep run in the Libertadores, he's good enough to have success and pack his bags to Europe.

Huracan and The Strongest are through. Pathetic showing by Morelia today.
El Tuca comparing himself to Simeone
*bleep* clown has the 5th most expensive squad in the cup and he's gonna play a b team. He does this every *bleep* time. Waste of a spot in the groups. I hope Atlas can show some fight.

Starting to think that River will be lucky not to concede
Edit: aaand there we go. This is why I think Barovero is not worthy of the NT.

Haven't watched a SA club game in years. Gonna dust off my old River Plate jersey (yes, I actually have an Enzo River jersey, not originally mine) and back them. And I see they lost their opening game. Nice.
Just have to remind myself when they play.
