The second semi-final pair of this year's Copa America consists of the two teams that, in my opinion, showed the most at this tournament, Uruguay and Colombia. Uruguay had a perfect performance in the group stage and after 3 games they won 9 points with the effect of 9 goals scored and 1 goal conceded. Realistically speaking, in a group in which Panama, the USA and Bolivia were next to them, Uruguay stands out for its quality. As always, Bolivia is an absolute outsider when playing outside its country, Panama made a surprise by passing the group, and the USA, which has a very good team, is far from serious football and Uruguay absolutely justified the role of favorite. After that, the match with Brazil followed, which was expected to be quite tough, without many chances for goals, which eventually came true and after the penalty shootout, they secured a place in the semi-finals. That victory against Brazil had, it can be said, a great price because in this match they will not be able to count on Araujo due to injury and Nandez due to a red card. Bielsa once again showed that he is a top professional and led his team to the semi-finals for the first time since 2011. Uruguay is known for its good defense, which will be put to the test due to the lack of the mentioned players, and against them they will have a team that plays very offensive and fast football. Unlike Uruguay, Colombia had a much easier job in the 1/4 finals. They beat Panama 5-0 and are entering this match much fresher. They had a somewhat tougher group than Uruguay, but they also won first place in their group, ahead of Brazil. If Panama is not a good opponent for Colombia's strength indicator, Brazil certainly is. The match ended 1-1, with a goal disallowed for the Colombians. In that match, Brazil was in a subordinate position and Colombia could easily win all 3 points. Colombia have been in fantastic form since their last defeat against Argentina in the World Cup qualifiers in February 2022. Since then, they are on a 27-game unbeaten streak and if they remain unbeaten in this match, they will set a new record for the number of games without defeat. Entering the Copa America final is certainly enough motivation in itself, and this can be an additional incentive for them. In this match, Colombia will be complete, because Lerma, who served his suspension due to a card against Panama, is returning to the team. Unlike the EURO, if there is no winner after 90 minutes, penalties are taken immediately, which leads to an even more careful game because there is even less room to correct potential mistakes. In my opinion, Colombia has the advantage in this match. They play a very offensive and organized team football, and a big problem for Uruguay will be the fact that Bielsa has to rotate the team, so Uruguay will play with players who are not so well-rounded. I'm sure that Bielsa will prepare the match in a great way, but I think that Colombia is so dangerous in attack that I don't see how they won't score at least one goal, which will make it even more difficult for the Uruguayans.
在我看来,今年美洲杯半决赛的第二对组合由乌拉圭和哥伦比亚这两支在本届杯赛上表现最出色的球队组成。乌拉圭队在小组赛中表现完美,3场比赛后他们以进9球失1球的成绩获得9分。现实地说,在与巴拿马、美国和玻利维亚同组的小组中,乌拉圭凭借实力脱颖而出。与往常一样,玻利维亚在国外比赛时绝对是一个局外人,巴拿马出人意料地出线,美国队,一支非常优秀的球队,远非严肃的足球,乌拉圭绝对是最受欢迎的角色。在那之后,与巴西的比赛,预计会很艰难,没有很多进球的机会,最终实现了,在点球大战之后,他们确保了半决赛的席位。可以说,对巴西的胜利付出了巨大的代价,因为在这场比赛中,他们将无法依靠阿劳若因伤和南德斯因红牌出场。贝尔萨再次证明了自己是顶级职业选手,自2011年以来首次带领球队进入四强。乌拉圭以其良好的防守而闻名,由于缺乏上述球员,这将受到考验,对阵他们,他们将拥有一支非常进攻性和快速足球的球队。与乌拉圭不同,哥伦比亚在1/4决赛中的表现要轻松得多。他们以5比0击败巴拿马,以更新鲜的姿态进入这场比赛。他们的小组比乌拉圭要艰难一些,但他们也获得了小组第一,领先于巴西。如果巴拿马不是哥伦比亚实力指标的好对手,那么巴西肯定是。比赛以1比1结束,哥伦比亚队一球被判无效。在那场比赛中,巴西处于从属地位,哥伦比亚可以轻松拿下全部3分。自从上次在2022年2月的世界杯预选赛中输给阿根廷队以来,哥伦比亚队一直保持着梦幻般的状态。从那以后,他们保持了27场不败,如果他们在这场比赛中保持不败,他们将创造不败场次的新纪录。进入美洲杯决赛本身就有足够的动力,这对他们来说可能是额外的激励。在与巴拿马的比赛中,因吃到黄牌而停赛的莱尔玛将回归国家队,哥伦比亚队将在本场比赛中完成比赛。与欧洲杯不同的是,如果90分钟后没有赢家,就会立即判罚,这导致比赛更加谨慎,因为纠正潜在错误的空间更小。在我看来,哥伦比亚队在这场比赛中占有优势。他们踢的是非常有攻击性和组织性的足球,而乌拉圭面临的一个大问题是贝尔萨必须轮换球队,所以乌拉圭将使用不那么全面的球员。我相信贝尔萨会很好地准备这场比赛,但我认为哥伦比亚队在进攻方面非常危险,我不认为他们会至少进一个球,这将使乌拉圭人更加困难。
