After
decades during which the Copa America had been neglected to some degree,
CONMEBOL members decided to organize the Copa America in a more professional
and modern manner.
The
series had been staged under inconsistent intervals and on home and away
series, which would take up to months.
The
1987 Edition would mark the first Copa in decades that would be organized in
one nation like a proper Tournament.
The
recent World Cup Champions Argentina were selected to be the first host of the
Copa America reboot.
There
was further attraction, as Carlos Bilardo’s squad would feature Diego Maradona,
the undisputed number one player on the planet at the time.
Following
the World Cup win, the previous summer, he had just led Napoli to Serie A
triumph.
However,
Argentina were not at full strength. Starting goalkeeper Nery Pumpido, Jorge
Valdano, Jorge Burruchaga and Hector Enrique were all unavailable due to
various injuries.
Pumpido
had nearly lost his finger in a training accident with his club and required
surgery, while Jorge Valdano was suffering from Hepatitis.
In
addition Bilardo could not call upon foreign-based players such as Claudio
Borghi (AC Milan would not release him, as he was participating in the
Mundialito of clubs).
Lecce
based Pedro Pasculli had wanted to participate and was even included in the
Finals squad, but in the end his club would not release him (and Bilardo did
not call up a replacement).
Bilardo
had declared that he wanted to rejuvenate the base of his squad in preparations
for the 1990 World Cup. He included youngsters such as Claudio Caniggia, Oscar
Dertycia and Jose Percudani with that in mind.
He
played down expectations by saying that his squad would be only at 50 percent
of their capabilities in the Tournament.
He
felt many of his players had been recently inured and/or had not played much
(ex. Julio Olarticoechea at Nantes), therefore he was not very optimistic of
their chances.
This
Tournament would also feature the new-look Brazil under (not yet full-time)
Manager Carlos Alberto Silva (who was also charged with the Olympics squad as
well).
Most
veterans from Tele Santana’s era were gone, such as Zico, Socrates, Junior,
Cerezo and Edinho.
The
youthful squad had just returned from a tour of Europe and left a positive
impression.
Many
new players were introduced in the tour, such as Carlos Dunga, Romario, Rai
(younger brother of Socrates) and Mirandhina (whose displays had earned a
recent transfer to Newcastle United).
There
were few veterans left, goalkeeper Carlos, defenders Josimar and Julio Cesar,
striker Antonio Careca and his young Sao Paulo teammate Luis Muller (who had
featured in the previous year’s World Cup).
The
only European based player was Julio Cesar, who played in the French League for
Brest and was on his way to Montpellier.
Incidentally
Careca had just been signed by Napoli and would be teammates with Maradona for
the years to come.
The
defending Copa America Champions Uruguay were trying to erase the negative
memories of a disappointing World Cup, which included a humiliating (1-6) loss
to Denmark.
The
new Manager Roberto Fleitas had not retained many of Omar Borras’ players. Enzo
Francescolli, along with the likes of Nelson Guttierez and Antonio Alzamnedi
were just a few of the veterans still in favor.
The
other squads were mostly unknown quantities, all trying to start new cycles as
well.
The
hosts Argentina were paired in Group A along with Peru and Ecuador.
Brazil
were in Group B paired with Chile and Venezuela, while Group C contained
Paraguay, Colombia and Bolivia.
The
Tournament kicked off on June 27th at River Plate’s El Monumental
Stadium with the hosts taking on Peru.
The
pre-match talking point about this match had been the World Cup Qualifiers on
June 1985 between the two squads, where Peru’s Luis Reyna had subjected
Maradona to a very brutal man-marking.

For
his part Reyna insisted that he was only following the instructions of his
Manager.
In
any event this opening match turned out to be a physical affair with no rhythm
and no significant action.
Argentina
did have more of the chances and should have won but settled for a tie.
The
goalscorers turned out to be Maradona and surprisingly Reyna. Maradona shot
Argentina ahead just after the start of the second half when he controlled a
cross in the box and slotted it past Ganoza. In the 59th minute,
Reyna headed the equalizer from a corner from the left.

Afterwards
Reyna said that this was the best day of his life that he would always
remember. According to him, it vindicated him against the critics and proved
that he was not just a watchdog.

Reyna
unluckily would miss Peru’s next match vs. Ecuador on July 4th after
an injury during training. He fell down on an uneven ground in a park and
injured his heel.
Before
that on July 2nd, Argentina took on Ecuador.
An
interesting aspect of Ecuador’s selections was that a maximum of three players
were selected per club since League play was still ongoing and this was an
attempt not to weaken any specific team.

introduction of Caniggia. In the 50th minute, after a move that was
started by Maradona, Caniggia scored with a downward header from across from
the right side.

scored Argentina’s third with five minutes remaining with a curling free kick.
Two
days later, matches were wrapped up in Group A as Peru and Ecuador cancelled
one another in a (1-1) tie and Argentina advanced to the semifinals.

Group
B started the day after Argentina’s opener on June 28th at Córdoba
with Brazil taking on Venezuela.
In
a one-sided encounter Brazil easily defeated South America’s weakest side
(5-0).
Edú
Marangón shot ahead Brazil in the 33rd minute after picking up a
deflection from the Venezuelan defense from a Ricardo Rocha cross. Six minutes
later Zdenko Morovic deflected Nelsinho’s cross from the left side.

The
next match in the Group took place two days later with Chile taking on
Venezuela.
The
Chile win (3-1) was a formality; the main talking point had been Chile’s
players’ threat to walk out over a row over bonuses with their Federation.
In
the end a compromise was reached and Chile concentrated on the matters on the
field.

This
set the stage for the deciding match in the Group on July 3rd
between Brazil and Chile. Brazil had been favored because of their history and
a number of good displays in the new year. However, this match turned out to be
a nightmare for Brazil as they suffered one of their most humiliating defeats
in competitive Football.

Brazil’s
main change from the Venezuela match had been the inclusion of defender Julio Cesar
at the expense of Geraldao. Julio Cesar had complained after his omission in
the first match that if Brazil Management had not intended for him to start,
they should not have selected him for a trans-continental journey.

Chile
tore apart Brazil using an efficient counter-attacking tactic.
They
broke the deadlock just before halftime, when Ivo Basay headed Contreras’ free
kick in. Brazil started the second half with a goal down and extra pressure.
Just
a couple of minutes into the second half, Chile goalkeeper Rojas took a goal
kick that went untouched by the Brazilian defense. It reached Letellier who
lobbed it over Carlos.

Brazil
were further unlucky as both Rai and Careca hit the post. Things took a turn
for the worst for Brazil in the 57th minute when Nelsinho was sent
off after Brazil had already made both of its substitutions.
In the 68th minute, Contreras took a corner from the right side that was headed it in by Basay.

In

disorganized Brazil. Letellier scored after a combination play with Astengo.
Chile
advanced to the semifinals, while Brazil were left wondering what went wrong
and who to blame.

Group
C matches took place at Rosario and kicked off on June 28th with a
dismal scoreless tie between Paraguay and Bolivia.
Afterwards
Paraguay Manager Silvio Parodi took his squad back to Paraguay (to return
before the match vs. Colombia). He took the decision since he did not like the
climate in Rosario.
As
far as Bolivia, it is worth mentioning that two of its players: Salvia and
Ramos were sent home after leaving the team premises without authorization.
Of course this was the Tournament that introduced Pacho Maturana’s glorious Colombia generation led by Carlos Valderrama. For their first match on July 1st, they defeated Bolivia (2-0) with goals by Valderrama and Arnold Iguaran.

goalscorer of the Tournament with his fourth goal to advance Colombia to the
semifinals.

The
first semifinal took place on July 8th at Córdoba between Chile and
Colombia.
It
was a hard fought match that Colombia actually dominated for long spells but
the Chilean defense was in fine form.
The
match went into extra time and Colombia took the lead in the 103rd
minute through a penalty kick by Bernardo Redín.

However,
in a matter of five minutes Chile overturned the deficit.
Astengo
scored the equalizer after a heading in a corner from the right taken by
Contreras. Astengo was fortunate that
Higuita had mistimed his jump on the corner.
Just
minutes later, a shot by Salgado was stopped on the line and Jaime Vera picked
up the rebound to score Chile’s winner.
Given
the flow of the match, the result seemed unfair to Colombia.
On
the following day, Argentina took on Uruguay at ‘El Monumental’. This was
Uruguay’s debut in the Tournament. As defending Champions, they had received a
bye for the First Round (The last time such a policy would be used).
Argentina
dominated for the most part but could not score. Maradona played despite having
missed two days of training (because of sore throat).

Francescolli, who in turn gave it to Alzamendi who shot and scored from the
edge of the box.
Afterwards
Uruguay just sat on defense and held the score to advance to the Final.
They
were some fighting between the fans in the stands and more than 30 arrests were
made.

Overall
it had been a disappointing Tournament with criticisms on the organization as
well as the action on the field.
The
lack of attendance was a major problem and the organizers had hoped better.
Besides matches that involved Argentina, most stadiums were barren.
Discipline
on the field was also a cause for concern; there were 33 bookings as well as an
astonishing number of sending offs (14 in total, with 4 in the Final itself).
There
were also complaints about Training locations. Peru left their base of ‘Hotel
Intercontinentale’ in Buenos Aires after two days because of the subway noise.
They
also trained in sub-standard locations, such as a public park (a reason why
Luis Reyna was injured).
The
Home Nation Argentina were disappointing in their displays despite the presence
of Maradona. They played like an average side dependent upon Maradona.
Claudio
Caniggia did make an impression on observers and his displays surely helped him
to earn a transfer to Italy (Verona) the following year (1988).
Colombia
were the surprise of the Tournament and Journalists named Carlos Valderrama as
the player of the Tournament (Chile goalkeeper Rojas finished second).
It
was the starting point of Pacho Maturana’s ‘El Toque’ one touch play that
qualified for the World Cups of 1990 and 1994. Apart Valderrama, the continent
observed the likes of Redin, Iguaran, De Avila and sweeper-goalkeeper Rene
Higuita.
The
Champions Uruguay in both of their matches resorted to the physical tactics
that had turned off most critics during the 1986 World Cup. There was no
artistry nor imagination in their game (Francescolli excepted).
Critics,
Journalists, Fans and former players tried their best to explain Brazil’s
inexplicable implosion vs. Chile.
According
to the Press, the relationship between the players and the Management had
deteriorated due to problems related to bonuses.
There
were also reports that the team had not liked how defender Geraldao had been
replaced in the starting lineup vs. Chile to accommodate Julio Cesar.
In
the match itself, Geraldao later came on to replace the injured Ricardo Rocha,
which caused confusion in the center of defense which was compounded by
Nelsinho’s sending off.
Former
Star Zico blamed the Brazil Federation for organizing too many matches and
tournaments during the season, which affected the players’ preparations.
Even
Argentina Manager Carlos Bilardo had his say. According to him, Brazil’s
problem was in lining up Josimar as a defender. He felt Josimar would be more
useful as a midfielder.
The
Manager Carlos Alberto Silva still maintained confidence on his players and
declared if he had to do it all over, he would select the same players.
Despite
being favorites to get the sack, C.A. Silva actually remained in charge and
guided the Brazil Olympic squad to the Final of the Seoul 1988 Olympics (1-2
loss to USSR) before departing.
The
new Copa America format was to take place every two years and the 1989 edition
would be held in Brazil.
The
Organization and the Format of that Tournament would be revised in the hopes of
a more successful Tournament.
