The 1999 Copa America was held in Paraguay and consisted of 12 teams, including ten South American countries plus Mexico in North America and Japan in Asia. The final winner belongs to Brazil, and the old rival Argentina, like the previous two cup competitions, has taken on the big topic but has no grain...
Point of the general: the little devil is in charge, Ronaldinho, Riquelme into everyone's eyes
The 22-man roster in two countries is made up entirely of domestic players, Mexico in North America and Japan in Asia. The Colombian squad has been greatly discounted, and we will not go into details what caused it. Brazil and Argentina have a similar squad composition, with 9 European club players plus 13 domestic players. I have to say that Argentina's lineup is much more decent than the previous one.
In addition to Ronaldinho and Riquelme, there is no shortage of young players worth paying attention to in this Copa America, Uruguayan goalkeeper Carlini, striker Salajeta, Argentine defender Samuel, midfielder Aimar, Venezuelan midfielder Alango, Chilean midfielder David Pizarro, Brazilian striker Alexis, Peruvian striker Claudio Pizarro, Paraguayan striker Santa Cruz and Cuevas. Later, everyone also knew that most of the above-mentioned "little genius" players were red...
After the young general talks about the veteran, the post-60s players are gradually going to go out of everyone's sight.

Group C made a big news, Colombia won the first place in the group is not expected, Argentina is second, Uruguay is third, Ecuador is out. Even more shocking than this result was the fact that in the group stage of Argentina's 3-0 loss to Colombia, Argentina's No. 9 striker Martin Palermo missed three penalties, one flew, one hit the crossbar to pop up, and one was saved by opponent goalkeeper Carero...
After entering the knockout round, Brazil opened the kill mode, one goal to reverse Argentina, two goals to beat Mexico, three goals to beat Uruguay, undisputed to win the championship.
In the end, Ronaldo and Rivaldo shared the honor of top scorer, and the best player still belonged to Rivaldo.
Summary: Win or lose, prepare for the World Cup
We will not summarize from the big picture, and it is true that the best team won the championship. However, the Copa America really does not have all teams to exert all their strength, including Brazil, which eventually won the championship. Teams like Japan and Paraguay have also gained something in this cup, and the lineup has been updated. Argentina, too, did Palermo in the ensuing World Cup qualifiers, and all-rounders such as Solin and Zanetti were entrusted with heavy responsibilities.
