ARG-COL-1 FINAL
Transcript
00:00In the heads of all the fans from all over the world in this Copa América are real wonders.
00:04Six assists, one penalty goal, many luxuries.
00:07And there we see the real legends of the two teams, Canilla and Oscar Ruggeri for Argentina.
00:12Two fierce defenders like Mario Yepez and Iván Córdoba for Colombia.
00:16Córdoba is the one who scores the goal that gives him the title of the Copa América Colombia,
00:19in a center from the right and a header from Córdoba in 2001, indeed.
00:24Ruggeri, of course, an institution in Argentine football, just like Claudio Paul Canigia.
00:30There is the title that Argentina has won 15 times.
00:35Remember, the 48th edition of this Copa América Argentina.
00:3915 titles Uruguay, 15 equal titles.
00:41Argentina can break that equality.
00:45Canilla and Córdoba showing that coveted object of desire of the two teams.
00:52Forming there for the photograph.
00:54But let's say that all these prolegomen should try as much as possible now to abbreviate them
01:00so as not to accumulate more delay.
01:03The delay of the start of the game is going to go more or less at 20 o'clock.
01:07And then let's remember, we have commented on it in the previous program,
01:10program that has been hit by the events that have been happening,
01:16that a wider rest is expected than usual.
01:19Because there is a planned performance of Shakira.
01:22And it will not be the 15 minutes of rigor.
01:24It is estimated that at least 25.
01:26We see Rafael Claus talking there with Leo Messi and James.
01:30The Brazilian schoolboy, a referee with a lot of experience,
01:33who I think, as far as possible, does not want to take advantage of the rise of James and Messi
01:37to have control of the game, even before starting.
01:40Yes, look at the face of tension of James.
01:43James has returned to a spectacular level, to the level of 2014.
01:46He is being the best player in the Copa América.
01:49Today, Messi has to give 100%, so that Argentina can be champion.
01:54It seems to me that Messi was quite good on the first day against Canada,
01:57and in the semifinal against Canada.
01:59In the rest of the tournament, I have seen Messi, at least,
02:02below the need of Argentina to win this title.
02:05Because today is the decisive game,
02:07and in the long run, it is the most complicated game that Argentina will have.
02:10Colombia has already played with Brazil, tied, Uruguay won.
02:13Let's say that Colombia's path has been much more difficult than Argentina's,
02:17because they suffered a lot against Ecuador, that's for sure.
02:19And it has also led to the absence of Daniel Muñoz, who was expelled from Uruguay.
02:23And good news, inside the bad,
02:25that in that game, Richard Ríos suffered a kick to the knee,
02:29and it seemed that he was not going to be able to be in this match.
02:32But in the end, the footballer from Palmeiras has been recovered,
02:34and he will be the starter with the combined Cafeteros.
02:38The two teams that are about to be formed.
02:40Let's listen to the national anthem of both teams,
02:44and from there, we will fully get to know the line-ups.
02:49And finally, they begin to see how the ball rolls,
02:52in this Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
02:56The 22 footballers are already there.
02:59The color of the flags, two Argentine technicians.
03:02The one from the Argentine team, and the Colombian, Néstor Lorenzo,
03:06who at 58 years old, and making very little noise,
03:09is taking Colombia to a fantastic height.
03:13And who knows if it will be his second Copa América.
03:17Now there is no one missing, and when I say there is no one missing,
03:19there is no one missing in the stands either.
03:20As you can see, it is full, but there have been many
03:23who have taken too long to get to their locations.
03:28The anthems that will be performed by an Argentine singer,
03:32Abel Pintos, and by the Colombian, Carol G.
03:36The Colombian, who is in the middle of her world tour,
03:41which will bring her to Madrid for four days.
03:44The one from Medellín, Carol G., who will sing the Colombian anthem,
03:48and Abel Pintos, who has been transformed in the final
03:51into the official singer of the Argentine anthem.
03:54He is doing it regularly, in the last commitments of Argentina.
03:58Let's hope they were able to get in.
04:00I imagine so.
04:01With whom he has allied in the years of the stadium,
04:04in short, it has been absolutely regrettable.
04:11Abel Pintos, announced by Megafonía, will sing the Argentinean anthem.
04:41Argentinean Anthem
05:11Argentinean Anthem
05:41Argentinean Anthem
05:44Vibrant, the interpretation of Abel Pintos, the Argentinean anthem.
05:48It's Carol G's turn.
05:50Colombian National Anthem
06:02Please stand up to listen to the Colombian National Anthem,
06:07performed by the winner of the Grammy, Carol G.
06:37Colombian National Anthem
07:07Colombian National Anthem
07:38Colombian National Anthem
07:48Well, I had a high bar.
07:50Abel Pintos, I think Carol G. has at least matched him.
07:54Nice way to get into the heat, nice way to get into the right situation between the two teams
08:01and also with the Arbitral Quartet, headed, as we said, by Rafael Klaus.
08:05Argentina's line-up, Emiliano, Liguu Martínez in goal, Cristian Romero and Lissandro Martínez in midfield,
08:12with Gonzalo Montiel recovered next to Tagliafico on the wing.
08:15In midfield, Enzo Fernández, Rodrigo de Pol and Alexis McAllister.
08:19Ángel Di María, probably in his last game with Argentina, Julián Álvarez and Lionel Messi.
08:25Well, in theory, they put Di María on the left, I'm going to play on the right,
08:29Di María already plays like that when they come so close to Argentina.
08:32Di María on the right side of the attack, with Messi with freedom and Julián with nine,
08:36although he runs a little to the left, the rest.
08:38It's true that he's permuting the pivot a lot, sometimes it's McAllister, sometimes it's Enzo,
08:43let's see what Escalón does today.
08:45And it's true that Molina and Montiel were also playing today,
08:48finally he's sent off by Montiel, which I think, even defensively, is something superior.
08:52In theory, everyone is available.
08:54It will be Marcos Acuña, who has dragged some physical problems,
08:57as Montiel said, also touched after Argentina's last commitment,
09:02but in the end he has recovered after the game with Canada.
09:05They are also forming for the photo of rigor, both teams.
09:10We will soon see the line-up of Colombia.
09:14Néstor Lorenzo is also not very good at making big changes,
09:18he will have to make some modification due to the absence,
09:22we have insisted on it, but I think we have to go with Daniel Muñoz.
09:26Daniel Muñoz is a very important bench.
09:28Luis Menoscal, there is a lot of talent in that short distance.
09:32Almost nothing.
09:33It's good that both of them sit at number 10, right?
09:35There they are, James Rodríguez in a special moment,
09:38Dulce Leomés, who also lives a special moment,
09:41because he knows that he is facing the final stretch of his career.
09:45Salabor, Rodolfo Toschi, the referee of VAR,
09:48Colombian line-up, Camilo Vargas,
09:51César Cancerbero, Cuesta,
09:53and Davinson Sánchez, centrals with Mojica and Arias on the sides.
09:57Lermo Arricha, Ríos, midfield,
09:59hooking Luis Díaz, James Rodríguez,
10:01and John Arias up, another John, Córdoba.
10:04He is having a wonderful Copa América.
10:06Let's remember that in Colombia, Santiago, Arias enters on the right side
10:09by the sanction of Daniel Muñoz, expelled from Uruguay.
10:12Extremely serious team.
10:14When it has to be physical, it is.
10:16When it has to be offensive, it is.
10:18And we saw against Uruguay that if he has to suffer, he suffers.
10:22Yes, he suffers, and he knew how to suffer.
10:24They put Davinson Sánchez and Cuesta.
10:26I think that Davinson is going to play on the right, Cuesta on the left,
10:29in the centrals, and then we will see it.
10:31Richard Ríos is doing a great tournament at the moment.
10:33And Colombia has also found, among other things,
10:35apart from the great level of James,
10:37of Luis Díaz, whom we already knew,
10:39has found a great John Córdoba,
10:41the center forward of the Russian Krasnodar,
10:43who was commented by John Córdoba himself in an interview.
10:46The coach asks me to look for the ball a lot in the space,
10:50that I put it in the space that I have fought with the centrals,
10:53and he wins almost everything.
10:54He is a player who is physically very powerful.
10:56Great tournament.
10:57What a message.
10:58What a message.
10:59Those girls are the girls of Ángel Di María,
11:01the girls of the fideo,
11:03from what we have seen in this very affectionate reception.
11:06Well, let's see if the game starts.
11:08Yes, finally.
11:09It's time.
11:10It's time and 22 minutes later.
11:11Let's enjoy it now.
11:12The Copa América is going to live its final game.
11:1432 matches.
11:16They started the championship, 16 elections.
11:19There are only two left.
11:20Argentina and Colombia.
11:23Argentina is going to put the ball into play.
11:26There we see that in the end the stadium is full.
11:29The concentration of Lucho Díaz.
11:31Right side of the image, Argentina.
11:33Left side, Colombia.
11:35The game begins.
11:36The great final of the Copa América begins.
11:38Edition 2024.
11:40Special edition in the United States.
11:42The ball is handled by the Argentines.
11:44The Colombians are expecting it.
11:46There it is.
11:47He had it very clear what to do with the ball.
11:49Cristian Romero played it to the side.
11:51It is Lisandro Martínez who carries the ball.
11:53He leaves it to Dibu.
11:55Dibu, who has already made his own.
11:57I mean, he has already made great interventions in the tournament,
12:00including penalty stands.
12:02There is a lot of talk about Messi.
12:04There is a lot of talk about Di María.
12:05There is a lot of talk about the footballers who score goals.
12:07But Dibu gives Argentina a great result.
12:09Montiel.
12:10Montiel's ball is very good.
12:11The rebound.
12:12He hit it.
12:13Julián Álvarez does not hit fully.
12:15When the first one arrived, it was dangerous.
12:17We did not get to minute one.
12:18It was clear, Luis.
12:19It was clear, that ball.
12:20Well, to confirm that Davidson plays as a right midfielder.
12:23Cuesta, as a left midfielder.
12:24They had placed them upside down, but they had always been playing like that.
12:27Cuesta, who is entering because of the leukemia.
12:29The first day against Paraguay, who was the starter.
12:31And the one who is playing little is Mina, in Colombia.
12:34And Dibu, Dibu, Dibu, Dibu.
12:36Dibu, Dibu, Dibu.
12:37Dibu, Dibu, Dibu.
12:38Dibu, Dibu, Dibu.
12:39Dibu, Dibu, Dibu.
12:40Dibu, Dibu, Dibu.
12:42First warning from Argentina.
12:44With that goal from Gonzalo Montiel.
12:46And Julián Álvarez's shot from La Araña.
12:49We saw it in this shot.
12:50Julián a little more to the left.
12:52Although it goes towards the 9.
12:53Messi more of a false 9, practically, to the right of María.
12:56It gives the feeling that both teams have the skill enough to adapt to any game circumstance.
13:01A game that is long and even.
13:03The ball is taken by Luis Díaz.
13:06The ball that Johan Bojica had played long.
13:08Rodrigo de Paul.
13:09And we see that between game and game, between the game of Canada and today's game, he has given time to go to the hairdresser.
13:15Hair cut and dyed blonde.
13:17Nico Tagliafico puts his leg in there.
13:19His command also in defense, working.
13:22Going back, John Córdova.
13:23How did you look at him, Tagliafico?
13:27Néstor Lorenzo with that jacket that gives a lot of heat.
13:32That shirt that gives even more heat.
13:34But faithful to his manias.
13:36Thinking that this can be crucial too.
13:38Why not?
13:39It is what happens today.
13:40This is football.
13:41Tagliafico was leaving.
13:43Jefferson Lerma ends up crossing.
13:45At the moment finding opportunity from outside Argentina.
13:47The first two offensive actions of the team of Escalón.
13:50And first with the incorporation.
13:51The good center of Montiel.
13:52And now with this escape of Tagliafico.
13:54His side is quite offensive, Tagliafico.
13:56He started playing Acuña on the first day.
13:57But he has imposed himself on the side.
14:00I say that Lloro has more flight in attack than Acuña.
14:02Lloro is a better defender in any case.
14:04And that has been quite irregular in the national team.
14:35A lot of potential in both teams.
14:36In the air game, in the strategic actions.
14:38Mainly by the launchers.
14:40Especially Messi and James.
14:43Big words.
15:04The ball circulates.
15:05That in the end went to the left side.
15:06For Mojica.
15:07He looks for it again.
15:08The Colombians have already done it a couple of times.
15:10The long one.
15:11Luis Díaz to save the Argentine pressure.
15:15De Paul.
15:17De Paul and Cristian Romero.
15:19Tottenham's central defender.
15:20Leaving for Enzo Fernández.
15:22Rodrigo De Paul.
15:25Again Romero.
15:28There is no aggressive pressure on either team.
15:32No, Colombia is waiting.
15:33It is not a high pressure.
15:34Not much less.
15:35Error of Tagliafico.
15:36Error too.
15:37James has rushed.
15:39He had a pass for John Cordoba.
15:41But he did not hit.
15:42He wanted to play first.
15:43As he came.
15:44The idea was good.
15:45But the error in the pass.
15:46What a bad shot.
15:47He has hit the ball to Montiel.
15:48Who did what he could.
15:49Then to take the ball from above.
15:51James is disturbed.
15:52And Cordoba.
15:53James falls on the front.
15:54He complains of a blow to the face.
15:55The Brazilian referee says there is nothing.
15:57Protects the ball.
15:58Leo Messi turns.
16:00Leo Messi lifting the ball.
16:01He has finished hitting Julián.
16:03He can do little.
16:05He receives the ball.
16:06First great detail of Messi.
16:08With that turn.
16:09Controlling the ball.
16:10Taking it from above.
16:11A guy who took two heads.
16:13The figure of Leo Messi present.
16:15It comes to my mind what Jesse Mars said.
16:17In the second game of Canada against Argentina.
16:20He only talked about Messi.
16:22How to make spaces for Messi.
16:24How to control Messi.
16:26I mean, Messi is probably not.
16:28In the best moment of his wide career.
16:29But it is still a pain in the ass.
16:31As Luis Díaz sees it.
16:33The shot that stops the Dibu.
16:35Very well Ríos.
16:37Leaving the pressure of an Argentinean player.
16:39Enabling Luis Díaz.
16:41Notice how Mojica tries to bend him.
16:43But there is no time to bend him.
16:45The loss of Daniel Muñoz is very important.
16:47For the offensive game he has.
16:49For the scoring ability.
16:51For what he throws from the team too.
16:53I do think it is a very weak piece for Colombia.
16:55Santiago Arias today.
16:57He has both areas.
16:59In the field Colombia.
17:01Santiago on the right side.
17:03And Arias to the Fluminense player.
17:05How well Ríos came out from behind.
17:07In that first shot.
17:09At the door of the Cafetero team.
17:11Ríos who started in Futbol Sala.
17:13He became a professional very late in football.
17:15He went to Rio de Janeiro.
17:17With a Colombian national team.
17:19U-20 of Futbol Sala.
17:21And there he recruited Flamengo.
17:23Who incorporated him.
17:25But in Futbol Onze.
17:27And now being one of the foreign stars.
17:29Of the Brazilian championship in Palmeiras.
17:31Santiago Arias.
17:33There Arias finishes the ball.
17:35James.
17:37James who is also doing everything possible.
17:39To be very involved.
17:41Very participative in the Colombian game.
17:43James.
17:45The precision of the ball of James.
17:47For Arias.
17:49The remote is going out.
17:51John Córdova.
17:53What a ball of James.
17:55What a quality of James.
17:57He is a footballer who participates permanently.
17:59With Arias.
18:01And he measures very well James.
18:03And then Córdova who thinks very little of him.
18:05At the time of finishing.
18:07And as he sees the ball.
18:09He touches the post.
18:11A magnificent vacation for Colombia.
18:13And what a delight of James.
18:15First how he took the mark from above.
18:17To put that deep ball in a flash of extreme quality.
18:19For the Colombian player.
18:21Who won the game.
18:23Difficulties for Argentina.
18:25Recovery of Richard Ríos.
18:27In the front.
18:29Let's see what Lucho Díaz does.
18:31The Colombian number 7.
18:33Chased there by Gonzalo Montiel.
18:35Rodrigo de Paul also joined.
18:37He has to walk a lot of the way.
18:39Yes, good pressure from Colombia.
18:41To recover a ball in a dangerous area.
18:43Colombia starts to fuel.
18:45Because James has started to fuel.
18:47Lerma.
18:50Arias.
18:52In this case, John.
18:54Mojica.
18:55Mojica.
18:57Whose destiny seems closer and closer to Real Mallorca.
19:02He would leave the discipline of Osasuna.
19:06And he would meet again with Jacob Arrasate in the Vermellón team.
19:10Carlos Cuesta.
19:13Arias.
19:15John Arias.
19:17Now far behind the Argentines.
19:19So Colombia has the ball.
19:21But he has no clarity to overcome the lines of the Descaloni.
19:23Mojica.
19:25The player of the game.
19:27Garcia.
19:29Davinson Sánchez.
19:31The right midfielder is looking for Santiago Arias.
19:33Stuck in McAllister.
19:35The only thing that James hardly participates is in the exit of the Colombian ball.
19:39Which is quite lucrative.
19:41But from there, the more balls pass through his feet, the better for the coffee table.
19:46He moves a lot to offer passing options.
19:49And also with his quality for long distances.
19:52As we have seen throughout the Cup.
19:53He wants to be decisive almost everywhere in the field of Argentine football.
19:59John Arias and Mojica.
20:01The start of the game has been of more Argentine protagonism.
20:05It seems that there has been a turn in the evolution of the match.
20:08Davinson Sánchez.
20:10Richard Rios.
20:12James, who is still in a hurry, is able to put a great ball for Arias.
20:15The delivery of Santiago Arias.
20:17He arrived with everything.
20:19Lucho Díaz has not been able to finish.
20:21He did not let him do it.
20:23Mojica grew up.
20:25And there is a shot that does not come out in conditions.
20:27Rios is also starting to appear a lot in the middle of the Colombian field.
20:31If Rios appears a few meters behind and can link with James.
20:34From there, Colombia, which is starting to grow, will dominate.
20:42We saw that it was difficult for Luis Díaz to get a good shot.
20:46It was also difficult for the defender, who made a good cut.
20:50Emiliano Martínez is going to hit.
20:54El Dibu.
20:56Very long ball.
20:58He manages to head it to McAllister.
21:00But it is not enough.
21:03McAllister, by the way, is very keen to cover the band.
21:06He is trying to block the exit of Santiago Arias.
21:12Arias receives.
21:14He moves the ball up.
21:16Without success.
21:18Argentina recovers.
21:20Yes, today we have Enzo de Pivote with McAllister on the left and Paul on the right.
21:23McAllister and Enzo in those positions.
21:26And Messi permanently looking for free spaces.
21:29At the moment, all the balls he has touched have been more than correct.
21:35We said it, we started the previous July that it was a walking version, but with intelligence.
21:40The movement of Leo Messi, who has had a very touched physique since the game in Chile,
21:45since the second day, due to a problem in the right adductor that already seems to have been overcome.
21:50But it has conditioned him a lot in the following games.
21:53In Peru, with the rest of the games he played.
21:57Today he is in somewhat precarious physical conditions.
22:00Cristian Romero has climbed on the shoulders of John Cordoba.
22:04He has not moved a millimeter.
22:06It's like climbing a mountain.
22:08What physical power does John Cordoba have and how important it is for the attack game in Colombia.
22:12Davinson Sánchez.
22:14Santiago Arias.
22:16Ríos.
22:18Ríos combines again with Davinson.
22:19There comes the boss, Captain James.
22:22From the outside, to be received by Richard Ríos.
22:27Davinson Sánchez.
22:29It does not seem to worry Argentina too much.
22:31That apparent Colombian dominance.
22:33I say apparent because it is true that it does not get to deepen.
22:36There is a conditioning also when it comes to going to press up for the two teams.
22:41But even more so with Argentina, who in those jobs does not usually have Leo Messi actively
22:46to save efforts from 10.
22:47And the game can be very long and will have a great demand.
22:52Also for the issue of heat and humidity.
22:54We are almost at 30 degrees and 80% humidity.
22:57James and Arias.
22:59The ball was looking for Cordoba.
23:01Lisandro Martínez, expeditivo, corner kick.
23:03Colombia is using me a lot.
23:05He is starting to move the ball with speed.
23:07Finding spaces on the sides, especially in Santiago Arias.
23:10There we have it.
23:12Turning the game fast, which is fundamental.
23:14And as always, James.
23:16Practically everywhere.
23:18Watch out for the ball stopped.
23:20Very good, Arias.
23:22He said it could be a weakness for Colombia, but he is not doing it at all in attack.
23:28Montiel asks the Brazilian referee to be aware of every detail.
23:32And there we saw, as Maldini said, Lerma placed behind Carlos Cuesta and Davinson Sánchez.
23:38James.
23:40The ball of James that goes to the second post.
23:42Lerma, the final header of Carlos Cuesta.
23:45But again, Colombia creating danger in the ball stopped.
23:49All of the Copa América.
23:51It is a guarantee.
23:53He puts the ball where he wants it.
23:55And the ball comes so close that anything can happen.
23:59Enzo Fernández from Paul.
24:02Montiel.
24:04He finds space and wants to take advantage of it.
24:07Di María.
24:09Ángel Di María goes inside.
24:11Combines with Messi.
24:12Leaving for the ball to end up being distributed by McAllister.
24:17To the left with Tagliafico.
24:19De Paul.
24:21Cristian Romero.
24:23Romero, Di María.
24:25Di María for Rodrigo De Paul.
24:27The one from Atlético de Madrid with Messi.
24:29Messi who, as we said, is playing practically at home.
24:33He ends up recovering the ball.
24:35Colombia has not missed the goal.
24:37Although we see an Argentinean player complaining of a blow to the ankle.
24:40Richard Ríos.
24:42Ríos and Arias.
24:44Santiago Arias.
24:46Scaloni protesting what he wanted.
24:48It was a clear foul of the previous action.
24:50Yes, and Ríos protested the referee.
24:52Ríos has misunderstood the game too much to protest there.
24:55He continues to talk to Rafael Claus.
25:00Ríos is an atypical striker.
25:02Because he is also an excellent scorer.
25:04He has a great ability in one-on-one.
25:06Which is acquired from his times in futsal.
25:09I remember that last year with Palmeiras.
25:10With the Brazilian in 2023.
25:12He was among the best strikers of the championship.
25:16We are talking about a flyer.
25:18A very ugly blow to Uruguay.
25:20Internal face on the knee.
25:22It seemed extremely diminished.
25:24To the point of not being able to be available in this game.
25:26But it is.
25:28He loses the ball from Paul James.
25:30They hit him hard.
25:32James ends up falling flat.
25:34The foul seemed more than clear.
25:36It has been hard for the Argentinean player to get up.
25:38But I stay again with the pressure.
25:40From Colombia and the recovery.
25:42He is being very brave going out to pressure Colombia.
25:44It is missing very fast.
25:46Mainly Lerma and also Arias.
25:49Very aggressive players when it comes to recovering the ball.
25:52And Colombia has a short team.
25:54In addition, it is narrowing the lines well.
25:56It is trying to recover balls on foreign ground.
26:00It is a clear foul.
26:02It is all that puts the leg up.
26:05It is true that James probably
26:06exaggerates the jump.
26:08Exaggerates the flight.
26:10But the foul is clear.
26:12And James, as we saw,
26:14has been quite clumsy.
26:16Maybe they forgive him this free kick.
26:18He is not so clumsy.
26:20He is ready to throw the foul.
26:22Although it seems that he also wants to be a candidate.
26:24John Arias.
26:26A good thrower.
26:28The extreme.
26:30Here, doing more work as a midfielder.
26:3215 minutes of the game are going to be fulfilled.
26:340-0 Argentina and Colombia.
26:36The ball is tempered.
26:38It is for the rebound.
26:40It came much earlier than Luis Diaz,
26:42who was the recipient of that ball.
26:44I remind you to recap,
26:46in case someone has added a bit late to this narration.
26:48This game has started with an hour and 20 approximately
26:51of delay due to problems
26:53in the access of the public to the stadium.
26:55And from there,
26:57we are at the time we are.
27:00A big role of Conmebol.
27:02A big role also of the organization,
27:04the American part of the organization.
27:06In short, an absolute disaster.
27:08Dribbling now,
27:10changing to the left wing,
27:12Ángel Di María.
27:14Di María in a permanent zigzag.
27:16Left-footed, very left-footed.
27:18Giving up playing with his right leg.
27:20He had few options of success.
27:22He looked for the foul.
27:24He did not find it.
27:26John Arias also kisses the cefpet
27:28and there will be no foul in the steal of Alexis McAllister.
27:30Messi looking for the ball in the creation,
27:32filtering a pass that will remain
27:34in little.
27:35A big role of McAllister in the play,
27:37but it's good to have left Colombia.
27:39Colombia is a team that tries
27:41not to raffle the ball,
27:43always trying to get out playing,
27:45risking of course.
27:47And of course in the play, James appeared.
27:49But I think that's where
27:51solidifies the success of Colombia.
27:53That's why it's been so long without losing.
27:55Vargas and Cuesta.
27:57In that it reminds
27:59other Colombian generations,
28:01but this one has more verticality
28:03and more rhythm, for example,
28:05also the 90s, for example.
28:07It was another football.
28:09There was another cadence,
28:11that slow step that characterized
28:13the Pacho Maturana team.
28:15Here he has a lot of physical exuberance
28:17and very explosive footballers,
28:19apart from James,
28:21who is an absolutely timeless footballer.
28:23He could play just as well
28:2530 years ago as now.
28:27In the merit of Néstor Lorenzo,
28:29he has made a team,
28:31he has made a block,
28:33he has made a very,
28:35very good blocker.
28:37With Néstor Lorenzo,
28:39it is already a streak of 25.
28:41Luis Díaz
28:43claimed the ball,
28:45Davinson Sánchez
28:47playing in the Turkish football
28:49in the Galatasaray.
28:51Córdoba,
28:53very close to the limit,
28:55Córdoba fell,
28:57Lissandro Martínez entered hard.
28:59They receive the band
29:01Gonzalo Montiel,
29:03De Paul,
29:05with a step towards the goal.
29:07There he is,
29:09waiting for the ball,
29:11Leo Messi.
29:13Messi comfortable,
29:15receiving the ball far from the area,
29:17aware that this also generates uncertainty
29:19in the Colombian team.
29:21He leaves Argentina with a lot of passion,
29:23with a fairly slow game.
29:25It is something that we have seen
29:27throughout the tournament so far.
29:29He does not have a quick exit,
29:31but in the last few meters,
29:33if Messi appears,
29:35Arias is more aggressive.
29:37Cristian Romero,
29:39the change of band,
29:41by the way,
29:43of Di María is consolidated.
29:45He has gone to the left
29:47and is staying there.
29:49Tagliafico,
29:51Di María will be the receiver
29:53of the ball from McAllister.
29:55Ángel Di María,
29:57in the case
29:59that is what is
30:01commented and noted
30:03and I think there is no going back.
30:05It is a point of drama
30:07because it is extremely loved
30:09and valued by this group
30:11that feels proud of that,
30:13of being a group.
30:15Di María is not a piece to anyone.
30:17No, no, Adolfo,
30:19Di María has been a very important player.
30:21What a ball from James, by the way.
30:23He has been a very important player
30:25in the recent national team football,
30:27with key goals.
30:29For example,
30:31one that gave him the Olympic Games,
30:32the Copa América against Brazil.
30:34In the World Cups he was quite good too.
30:36A key player.
30:38Mr. Finales,
30:40also scored in the last Copa América
30:42in the final.
30:44He scored in the very final call
30:46in that match against the Italian team
30:48and opened the scoring in the Qatar final
30:50against France.
30:52Save the ball, Di María.
30:54That ball, theoretically,
30:56was looking for Tagliafico.
30:58It was a melon,
31:00what Rodrigo de Paul had sent.
31:02He's starting from far back.
31:04De Paul, who, as we said,
31:06is having a good Copa América
31:08and perhaps needs a point
31:10higher up in Argentina.
31:12Messi came out of the hooks
31:14with the Colombian footballer.
31:16Tagliafico arrives, Di María,
31:18and it's dangerous.
31:20What a ball, the ball for Messi.
31:22The star of the sphere in Julian's body,
31:24Taja Vargas.
31:26Very clear.
31:28Messi fell to his left leg,
31:30and Colombia has been saved.
31:32Almost without looking,
31:34Di María with Messi.
31:36One of the best partners
31:38the Argentine has had
31:40throughout his career
31:42has been Fideu.
31:44Julian couldn't avoid
31:46the shot from Messi.
31:48I don't hit the ball well,
31:50Messi, either.
31:52He's very active,
31:54he's intervening a lot.
31:56It gives Argentina
31:58a feeling of danger,
32:00even though they have
32:02a lot of space.
32:04He wants to steal the ball,
32:06but he can't.
32:08The ball is in the hands
32:10of the Escaloni players.
32:12Messi, now turned to the right,
32:14goes for Villa.
32:16He loses his balance,
32:18not the ball,
32:20which will continue to be for Argentina.
32:22We see Messi
32:24very active,
32:26very involved,
32:28and with a very good physical tone.
32:30He's fast.
32:33Dejan Davinson Sánchez,
32:35he's spherical.
32:37Vargas, 40 games
32:39between these two teams.
32:4120 wins for Argentina,
32:439 for Colombia,
32:4511 draws.
32:47In the Copa América,
32:4915 games,
32:517 wins for Argentina,
32:533 for Colombia,
32:55and 5 clashes.
32:57And the last game between them,
32:59the 2-2-22.
33:00For the next World Cup,
33:02for the World Cup
33:04of 2026,
33:06which will be played
33:08in the United States,
33:10Canada and Mexico.
33:12Davinson Sánchez.
33:16He took a risk
33:18in that first touch to Ríos.
33:20He ends up doing it again
33:22with the Colombian ball,
33:24thanks to the work of Santiago Arias.
33:26Luis Díaz, who now appears
33:28on the right side
33:30of the pitch.
33:32Luis Díaz is usually on the left,
33:34but now he's on the right.
33:36They have to look for him
33:38on the left side of the pitch.
33:40President Conmebol
33:42in the upper part of the picture.
33:44I've seen him in all the games.
33:46He had to be there.
33:51He's going to have to
33:53make an effort to communicate.
33:55They're going to squeeze his ears.
33:57After everything that's happened,
33:58throughout the Copa America,
34:00but in particular
34:02what happened today.
34:04Let's not forget that
34:06President Conmebol
34:08and the president
34:10were happy to have
34:12a Copa Libertadores final in Madrid.
34:14Tremendous.
34:16Controversial decisions
34:18and an organisational problem
34:20that fortunately
34:22has been resolved well
34:24in terms of the show,
34:26although we have seen
34:28detentions and violence
34:30in the access to this
34:32Hard Rock Stadium.
34:34Davinson Sánchez,
34:36Cuesta,
34:38Mojica.
34:40This is a final.
34:42There are no concessions,
34:44no gifts.
34:46There are precautions
34:48in both teams.
34:50Arias,
34:52John Arias,
34:54Carlos Cuesta
34:56and Davinson Sánchez.
34:58And Costa Rica
35:00equalised with Brazil
35:02who in the quarter-finals
35:04crushed Panama.
35:06Villivedo,
35:08we're not going to report
35:10his final stretch,
35:12that game with Uruguay
35:14that allowed him to do
35:16a survival exercise
35:18and with one less for many minutes
35:20to end up in the table.
35:22In the finals
35:24with a goal from Di Maria,
35:26I forgot about the
35:28Algeria game
35:30in Beijing 2008.
35:32I forgot about the
35:34national team.
35:59You need to find James.
36:01That's fundamental.
36:03He's struggling to progress.
36:05Luis Díaz is getting in.
36:07And that leaves him options
36:09on the left side.
36:11Cordoba, who took Cristian Romero out of his place.
36:13It's difficult to knock him down
36:15and difficult to take the ball away
36:17when he protects it with his body.
36:19John Córdoba,
36:21Mojica, James
36:23insists with Mojica.
36:25Let's see the centre.
36:26He tried it without success.
36:28It's true that
36:30Lisandro Martínez had him hooked.
36:32With two central defenders
36:34like that,
36:36it's very difficult for him to finish.
36:38He has to play lower than Colombia.
36:44Martínez
36:46placing the ball in the small area.
36:4925 minutes into the game.
36:52Here's the ball distribution.
36:54It's very even.
36:56There's barely
36:58any difference
37:00in favour of the Colombians.
37:03Emiliano Martínez.
37:05Arias.
37:07Davinson Sánchez
37:09manages to avoid
37:11a very sticky one.
37:13Julián Álvarez, James.
37:15John Arias.
37:17James, like Messi,
37:19looks for spaces with little traffic
37:21because he knows that sooner or later
37:22the ball will come to him
37:24and that's where he can make a difference.
37:26He's a master of patience.
37:28Good ball from Lerma
37:30towards Santiago Arias.
37:33Arias, Davinson,
37:35Cuesta.
37:37A lot of horizontal play in the Colombians
37:39at the moment lacking in depth.
37:41Mojica,
37:43John Arias,
37:45Lucho Díaz,
37:47Lerma,
37:49control and a couple of left and right wingers from James
37:50to end up playing with Richard Ríos.
37:52It's going very well for Di María.
37:54Richard Ríos.
37:55Ríos who scores.
37:57Córdoba
37:59has passed like a blind man.
38:01He was looking for the finish
38:03but it seems that he also
38:05missed Lisandro Martínez's ankle.
38:07Sometimes you don't live in Córdoba
38:09with this kind of action.
38:11What a good dribble, right Luis?
38:13A dribble in little space
38:15and then the exit with a dribble from Ríos.
38:17One of the weakest defenders in Argentina.
38:18Di María,
38:20said not by me,
38:22said by Elionel Scaloni,
38:24is not ready for a game
38:26where he has to run up and down.
38:29The one who is ready for that
38:31is this man, John Córdoba.
38:33Very powerful.
38:35He fights with the midfielders.
38:37Any ball in the space
38:39does a lot of damage.
38:41He has taken Borré's spot for example.
38:43Borja.
38:45Borré who was
38:46in the starting line-up
38:48of Néstor Lorenzo
38:50was practically the starting forward.
38:52This is Ospina Perea
38:54who is an assistant of Néstor Lorenzo
38:56who played for Atletico Madrid.
38:58What a defensive ball.
39:00Yes, yes, very good.
39:02Very fast.
39:04He couldn't do any damage to Lisandro.
39:06Tremendous ball.
39:08It can be seen that the action
39:10on the pitch has also generated
39:12some riffs and ruffs off the pitch.
39:14By the way, Néstor Lorenzo
39:16is the Argentinian who directed
39:18Lionel Scaloni in the national team
39:20and his entire coaching staff.
39:22Let's not forget that Scaloni's assistants,
39:24the members of his coaching staff
39:26in the Argentinian national team
39:28are very illustrious names.
39:30Walter Samuel, Pablo Aymar, Roberto Allara.
39:32They all know Néstor Lorenzo perfectly well.
39:35The problem seems to be of some relevance.
39:37Lisandro, who is still receiving
39:39the attention of the Argentinian doctors.
39:44It doesn't seem that he is in danger
39:46of losing his continuity on the pitch.
39:48By the way, in these images
39:50you can see the unions
39:52between the blocks.
39:54Yes, yes, what Bielsa was referring to.
39:56And that, of course,
39:58can give you a small bump
40:00that in an area, in the area
40:02can hurt you a lot, of course.
40:04It can cost you a goal.
40:06That's what Bielsa said.
40:08It's a shame.
40:10There's a total mix in the stands.
40:12A total and beautiful mix
40:14if things don't fall apart
40:16and if the white and blue
40:18were almost fused.
40:20This is completely atypical.
40:22In South America,
40:24fans don't mix
40:26in the same sectors as in the stadiums.
40:28Not even in many countries,
40:30almost at club level,
40:32we don't say the national teams.
40:34We are in the United States.
40:36We are in Florida.
40:38Di María doesn't arrive.
40:40Julián, playing with the ball.
40:42Angel Di María is injured.
40:44The referee approaches
40:46from the right wing.
40:48By the way, there's an interesting link
40:50that links James' career
40:52with Di María's.
40:54Because,
40:56let's remember that in the Brazil World Cup
40:58in 2014, James was the absolute star,
41:00named the best player in the tournament.
41:02Di María with Argentina
41:04was injured in the quarterfinals against Belgium
41:06and couldn't recover.
41:08And, in fact, when he was in doubt
41:10to play the final against Germany,
41:12a letter from Real Madrid arrived
41:14asking him not to play that game.
41:16Some time later,
41:18and this has been clarified
41:20on several occasions,
41:22he confirmed that he knew
41:24that Real Madrid wanted to buy James
41:26as a new flagship of the project
41:28and that he knew he had to sell Di María.
41:30That was finally what happened.
41:32Di María, who couldn't even play
41:34the final against Germany,
41:36didn't even get on the bench,
41:38not because of the letter from Real Madrid
41:40that Di María, of course,
41:42broke, but because he couldn't recover
41:44from that injury.
41:46James arrived at Real Madrid
41:48with Carabanchelotti on the bench
41:50and had a very good first two seasons.
41:52After that, he stopped counting,
41:54first with Benítez and then,
41:56to a lesser extent, with Zidane.
41:58There's a long history
42:00of the movements that sometimes
42:02occur between the stars of football
42:04and that make what happens to one
42:06affect the other.
42:08This was not the case.
42:10Lerma, Ríos,
42:12Richard, Ríos, Cámez,
42:14Jefferson, Lerma,
42:16Lucho Díaz,
42:18the Liverpool footballer
42:20trying to...
42:22A little closer to the band,
42:24Luis Díaz would do more damage.
42:26Now he's scoring a little there.
42:28Llorares has appeared little at the moment,
42:30but this is the area
42:32where he has to be.
42:34Díaz, Córdoba,
42:36doing that job
42:38that is so important for Colombia.
42:40James!
42:41What a job!
42:43Yes, and playing from memory, James,
42:45again.
42:47With the chest,
42:49it's hard for Mojica.
42:51Jonaria, receiving from Lerma,
42:53falls to the ground,
42:55gives the ball to Luis Díaz.
42:57Luis Díaz and Ríos.
42:59Ríos, who tries to overcome
43:01with that little touch.
43:03Ataglia, Fico,
43:05didn't get it.
43:07Di María,
43:09will end up losing the ball.
43:11Claus from James.
43:15My goodness,
43:17how sweaty Néstor Lorenzo is.
43:19It looks like he just came out of the sauna.
43:22Franil's shirt, his jacket.
43:24It's hot just to see him.
43:26The origin of the Cabal
43:28is in a great streak
43:30of undefeated games,
43:32not with Colombia,
43:34but in his time in Belgium
43:36in the Peruvian team,
43:38which he led successfully.
43:39It's a victory for
43:41the psychology of the Argentine coach.
43:43He has to look for a summer version
43:45because Luis Díaz is going to suffer with this one.
43:48He says he has two or three games,
43:50but they're all of the same color.
43:52Lerma cuts the previous action,
43:54from afar, good shot.
43:56Lerma hits it,
43:58he's making a great America's Cup.
44:00Lerma's movement towards the rival goal.
44:02Yes, he's scored two goals,
44:04both with the ball stopped,
44:06two headers from James.
44:07A tremendous right-hander.
44:09He's a very good striker.
44:11He's one of the great midfielders in the tournament,
44:13without a doubt, Lerma.
44:15In the Crystal Palace,
44:17just like Daniel Muñoz,
44:19he's playing very well.
44:21I think they're both in a good position,
44:23even in the Premier League.
44:25Especially Daniel Muñoz.
44:27Another one who went through a modest
44:29in the Spanish south,
44:31through Levante.
44:33He deflected Emiliano Martínez's corner kick.
44:35James will open it now.
44:38The eternal story
44:40of the referees' warnings
44:42that no one understands,
44:44no one pays attention to.
44:46James Rodríguez
44:48places the ball in the small area.
44:50He's headed it to Cordoba
44:52but he's returned it to James.
44:54It's been very strange,
44:56and then James' back centre
44:58is for the free-kick.
45:00I think it was a foul.
45:03It's from Cordoba, I think.
45:05He's also ordering
45:07that Argentina
45:09put the ball back into play.
45:11I insist,
45:13in terms of chances,
45:15Argentina has had the clearest chance,
45:17but we're seeing an even game.
45:19Very even.
45:21They're two teams
45:23who are playing well.
45:25Argentina, after a somewhat
45:27dubious start,
45:29have ended up
45:31playing very well on the pitch.
45:33We've seen excellent work
45:35by the referees,
45:37and I think they've had a good chance.
45:39And of course,
45:41Di Maria has been turned aside.
46:07Romero.
46:09Romero walking,
46:11literally.
46:13From Argentina,
46:15the central defenders
46:17don't drive.
46:19They don't have speed,
46:21they don't have verticality.
46:23Tania Fico
46:25takes the ball to Di Maria.
46:27Di Maria gives up
46:29to look for the centre.
46:31Di Maria to Messi.
46:33MacAllister's free-kick
46:35to Julian.
46:37He's got the ball,
46:39and at the end,
46:41a goal.
46:43But sorry Maldini,
46:45I think there was a final message.
46:47Yes, once Messi was there,
46:49I think it was offside.
46:51The goal in the ankle
46:53by the Colombian defender.
46:55A very good combination
46:57again between two lifelong partners.
46:59Di Maria-Messi.
47:01Messi leaves,
47:03he loses sight of the goal.
47:05Ariad goes to the limit.
47:07He's been
47:09a tremendous plate.
47:11Santiago Arias
47:13leaves the plate.
47:15He's only going to make the shot.
47:17Fortuna caught him in the air.
47:19Messi.
47:21He didn't find a shooting line,
47:23Leo Messi.
47:25He had a few shots in the game,
47:27Leo Messi.
47:29It's very clear and evident.
47:31He's very precise every time he intervenes.
47:33Yes, it was on purpose
47:35so that he couldn't get it out.
47:37It was a mistake.
47:39Leo Messi will of course return
47:41to his team,
47:43to Inter de Miami,
47:45to continue
47:47with the MLS.
47:49The other day,
47:51Inter de Miami was beaten.
47:53They played Busquets,
47:55Jordi Alba too.
47:57He's putting the spade in his right ankle.
47:59He's been hit all over the foot
48:01in the ankle.
48:03I'm very worried.
48:05I saw Aymar smiling in the background.
48:07Argentinian.
48:09Messi's image with his hands on his face
48:11is much more worrying.
48:13If we look at this image,
48:15it doesn't invite much optimism
48:17from the perspective of Argentina.
48:19Messi keeps his hands on his face.
48:21Now it looks like he's making a gesture
48:23to keep calm for a moment.
48:26Let's see if the doctors
48:28are able to
48:30solve
48:32what has been assumed
48:34by Arias.
48:36It's a very close action.
48:38Messi is also in a very forced position.
48:40Arias is at the limit.
48:43We can see that
48:45everything that happens to Messi
48:47is much more
48:49calm.
48:51He's standing up.
48:53He can continue.
48:55I hope without problems
48:57because he's one of the great actors
48:59of this match and of this Copa América.
49:01If he overcame the entry
49:03of the Canadian player,
49:05anything could happen to Messi.
49:09He's still there
49:11with a gesture of pain
49:13clearly on his face.
49:15Argentina is losing Messi momentarily.
49:18But we understand
49:20that he will be back.
49:22Mojica.
49:25Carlos Cuesta.
49:27Davinson.
49:29Davinson, Sanchez, Arias.
49:32Santiago, Arias.
49:33Here we see Messi
49:35making a gesture to the doctors
49:37to ask for permission
49:39to the goalkeeper
49:41so that he can enter again.
49:43And Messi enters the field
49:45in his own way.
49:47With a calm step
49:49and still testing his ankle.
49:51McAllister, Di Maria,
49:53Tullamia, between the two
49:55until Liverpool.
49:57I think they tried to play
49:59a little more open,
50:01but Di Maria appeared again
50:03and it is extremely
50:05cryptic when it comes to
50:07interpreting how he is.
50:09Obviously, if he's a lot
50:11with the ball, it's okay.
50:13But from time to time
50:15he has disappearances in the games.
50:17Now physically he is damaged.
50:19Let's see if we can detect
50:21what are his
50:23footballing constants.
50:25McAllister,
50:27Enzo Fernandez,
50:29Rodrigo de Paul.
50:31He will have to think fast
50:33and with a lot of ability
50:35and quality.
50:37Lerma,
50:39John Arias,
50:41James,
50:43Mojica.
50:45Mojica wants to go for speed.
50:47Mojica's ball,
50:49there's no one there.
50:51Santiago Arias,
50:53Rios,
50:55Julián in the middle,
50:57in the middle of the river,
50:59shot.
51:01Impossible.
51:03The header was too far.
51:05It's being tested.
51:07It's not okay.
51:10Santiago Arias' first shot.
51:12Arias,
51:14the Colombian's right-back,
51:16let's remember he had a very serious injury
51:18in a match in the qualifiers in Qatar
51:20against Venezuela in Barranquilla.
51:22He broke his ankle
51:24and had serious injuries
51:26in the ankle capsule.
51:28In fact, he was practically three years
51:30without returning to the national team
51:31and he came back in line.
51:33Néstor Lorenzo,
51:35and I remember it was a defensive action
51:37when that injury happened,
51:39with very bad luck.
51:41It would be for Messi,
51:43if he can't follow Messi,
51:45to play with Lautaro and Julián,
51:47I suppose.
51:49Luis Díaz to James,
51:51he tried the first shot,
51:53he gets in through Tagliafico,
51:55Rios,
51:57stops Emiliano Martínez.
51:59That kind of shot,
52:01Rios gets in
52:03from far away.
52:05It's a clear sign of the problems
52:07the Colombian team is having
52:09to cross the Argentinian midfielder line
52:11which is very tight.
52:13But we can see it's a thin rain.
52:15It's drizzling.
52:17Colombia has finished off more.
52:19They've finished off more globally
52:21and more on goal.
52:23But this continues as it started.
52:250-0.
52:27Romero, McAllister,
52:29Julián,
52:31Carlos Cuesta,
52:33Di María,
52:36Alexis McAllister,
52:38Depol,
52:40Messi,
52:42Montiel,
52:44Depol,
52:46Montiel,
52:48Luis Díaz,
52:51Luis Díaz had accelerated well,
52:53but Depol had also read well
52:55where to go to get the ball.
52:57Very good Copa América
52:59by Rodrigo Depol.
53:01Rodrigo was good
53:03and against Canada
53:05he was one of the best.
53:07One of the best midfielders in the tournament.
53:31Di María,
53:33Tagliafico,
53:35Di María.
53:37The pace is not high,
53:39but neither team is speculating.
53:41When they have the ball,
53:43they're behaving very naturally.
53:45It's true that there's respect,
53:47but there's also a lot of rigor.
53:49They're doing everything defensively very well.
53:51And both find it difficult,
53:53more than serious,
53:55to intimidate the opponent.
53:57There's been an excess.
53:59I don't know if Codo
54:01had a shoulder,
54:03but a shot from Tagliafico.
54:05It was a bad deal,
54:07because Tagliafico
54:09got into a jungle of yellow jerseys
54:11from which it was very difficult to get out.
54:13He didn't have company.
54:15But it's the second time he does it in the game.
54:17At the moment Tagliafico lets go of the hand,
54:19he hits Ríos,
54:21and then he gets the elbow in the face.
54:23Arias complains.
54:25He puts on a face of not understanding,
54:27but seeing the repetition he understands easily
54:29that it was a very clear foul.
54:31Although the Argentine player and the ball
54:33were already off the pitch.
54:35And now he's let go of the arm in a bad way.
54:37It's true that Mr. Claus,
54:39the Brazilian,
54:41didn't see the previous shot
54:43from Tagliafico
54:45in the face of Richard Ríos.
54:472-2 for the 45.
54:50Between Paul
54:52and Messi.
54:54Inseparables.
54:56They've taken the penalty
54:58with Chiquitapia.
54:59In the end,
55:01they've done
55:03what they're supposed to do
55:05before a match in Argentina.
55:07Up top, Tagliafico's header.
55:12Messi's ball was on the music.
55:14With the power of the combo
55:16just enough
55:18to cause problems for the defender
55:20when it came time to clear the ball.
55:22A good header from a man
55:24who's not an aerial specialist,
55:26but he did it well.
55:27With the ball, John Arias.
55:31Good day.
55:33A lot of day for Richard Ríos.
55:36Daminson Sánchez.
55:39The match is clearly
55:41moving in a
55:43pendular way.
55:45A moment of more control
55:47for both teams.
55:49A more or less clear arrival
55:51for both teams.
55:53But I insist,
55:55you don't see a big difference.
55:57A header, but it didn't go in.
55:59He looked for a wall
56:01and it hit his support foot.
56:03The Colombians have recovered
56:05very quickly.
56:07Richard Ríos, John Arias,
56:09complicate James,
56:11who takes the ball
56:13from Rodrigo de Paul.
56:15It's been a few minutes
56:17without James showing up.
56:19That's very bad for Colombia.
56:21He started well,
56:23but little by little
56:25he's starting to have less weight
56:27and he's adjusting.
56:29The Argentines are doing
56:31a great job of holding
56:33against the Colombian.
56:35He gave the ball to Colombia.
56:37A misunderstanding between
56:39Mojica and John Arias.
56:41He adds one minute
56:43to this first half.
56:45Everything very even, Adolfo.
56:47Everything very even.
56:49A warning to navigators.
56:51Time to rest.
56:53There's going to be a show.
56:54We'll see.
56:56We'll offer them a much longer
56:58break than usual.
57:00We don't know
57:02how long the break will be.
57:04The players will be very
57:06informed.
57:08They've had two warm-ups
57:10and will have a longer break
57:12than usual.
57:14Ernesto Lorenzo
57:16commented yesterday
57:18that the break
57:20will be longer
57:22than usual.
57:24What can I say?
57:26It's another warning.
57:28We're in a competition
57:30where after the first two games
57:32several coaches were sanctioned
57:34because their teams
57:36took a break
57:38after being forced
57:40to go to the changing room
57:42and were sanctioned
57:44with a game.
57:46The first half is over.
57:48The Brazilians
57:50at the end of the first half
57:52haven't scored.
57:54They're not available
57:56to continue in the second half.
57:58This type of game
58:00is often in the details.
58:02The detail I think
58:04exemplifies this first half
58:06is that there has been
58:08an almost absolute balance.
58:10It's a very even game.
58:12Colombia at the beginning
58:14seemed to be able to disarm
58:16Argentina but it didn't
58:18create danger.
58:20James has disappeared
58:22from the game.
58:24He played well.
58:26He played well for Argentina.
58:28I think the danger
58:30was more for Argentina
58:32than for Colombia.
58:34The teams are very natural
58:36when it comes to attacking.
58:38They're fulfilling their
58:40defensive obligations
58:42and they're putting
58:44naturalness to the game
58:46when it comes to
58:48attacking.
58:50James is very sharp
58:52from three quarters of the field
58:54and Argentina
58:56had their chances
58:58with a bit of a shot
59:00from Leo Messi.
59:02The two stars of the game
59:04seem to be in a good
59:06degree of lucidity
59:08and that makes us wait
59:10for a great second half.
59:12We'll be right back
59:14with that second half
59:16but before that,
59:18you can see that
59:20there's a mini-concert
59:22by Shakira.
59:24We'll be right back.
