rest due to the COVID 19 pandemic So the coach had to call up 16 emergency players to face the host to win the cup with whom they lost 3 0 in the debut Furthermore the Vinotinto team must adjust in

clear intention of working the concepts of the experienced coach José Peseiro who since he arrived at the tricolor cast has only had to overcome the various setbacks that have been presented to him and so far in the first 6 games he has played he has only one victory against Chile a draw against Uruguay and 4 defeats Therefore they also came to Copa America to obtain results in terms of performance for the rest of the World Cup qualifiers but now they will have a different scenario with an alternate team Many of them had never made their debut with the national team yet defended the Vinotinto shield with honor and gallantry without being intimidated by the big names that were in front of them For now we will have to wait and see how Venezuela will be able to get out of this group stage but for now it looks to be the last one in the group with so many setbacks <p> < wpparagraph > < wpparagraph fontSizemedium > <p class=has medium font size><strong>Lets review the best plays of
