Copa America 2019 : Five players to watch out for

#3 Rodrigo Bentancur ( Uruguay )

The young Uruguayan has the potential to be world's best playmaker

Uruguay are the pioneers when it comes to winning the Copa America and they have bagged the prestigious trophy a record 15 times. The team looks well-groomed for success this time and will be spearheaded by a lethal attack of Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani this time.

Their midfield, however, is studded with potential superstars - the biggest of all being a certain Juventus midfielder. A player full of promise, Rodrigo Bentancur forms an integral part of coach Oscar Tabarez's side, playing alongside Matias Vecino, Nicolas Lodeiro, Nahitan Nandez and Lucas Torriera. His style of play mixes the typical Uruguayan aggression with close control over the ball and he uses this to devastating effect, by playing through balls from a deeper midfield position. His link-up play with the forwards will be very vital to Uruguay's attack.

He recently signed an contract extension with Juventus that holds till 2024 and it is quite evident why he is regarded as one of the finest young talents at the club. The robust midfielder hasn't yet announced himself as a quality player on the world stage and this could be his finest chance to do that precisely.
