Ivan 'Bam Bam' Zamorano was a strong striker who even got to share a locker room with Brazilian Ronaldo at Inter Milan. A true globe trotter who played in the best teams in Europe, and also some of the best teams in the American continent. Being from Chile he gets a chance to call the attention of teams that wouldn't sign some European player who doesn't speak the language, he was very happy when his country won the Copa America last year. But this year, repeating the feat will be nearly impossible as there are other important teams that will also compete.
To 'Bam Bam', the strongest side is without hesitation, Uruguay, who have the world's best striker in Luis Suarez. The Barcelona forward wasn't able to play the last Copa America in Chile due to a suspension he got on the last World Cup. That's more than enough for him to be eager to play this tournament, and take his revenge on the system by making Uruguay the new champions of America. During an extensive interview, Zamorano gave his predictions for Uruguay and his home country Chile.
He told Omnisport: "Nowadays it is Uruguay. The team that can take the Copa America from Chile if things are equal is Uruguay or Argentina. If Messi is 100 per cent they can also make it to the final. For Chile is going to be special to defend the title. The pity is that it will be in such a short time. Last year we were champions and this one we have to fight in order to defend the title. It's going to be a special Copa America, with new national teams involved. It has a special significance."
"Chile is doing a good preparation and I trust that Juan Antonio Pizzi has called the best players that Chile have, so the other teams too, except for Neymar in Brazil. It will be a difficult Copa America, all the teams will arrive after a good preparation and they will be trying to win the cup: Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Mexico and United States, who are playing at home. It will be complicated for Chile, but we have a good team, a great generation of players that I am convinced will be making an effort to deliver success, so we trust that we will be doing a good tournament."
