Venezuela quiere más. No se ha conformado con arribar insólitamente a semifinales de la Copa América, donde se medirá el miércoles a Paraguay.El devenir histórico de la Vinotinto es sinónimo de evolución. Representa una verdadera analogía del respeto a procesos de selecciones nacionales.
La historia de fracasos y descalabros estrepitosos habían marcado a la Vinotinto.
Antes de Argentina 2011, su récord en Copas América era de un total de 33 goles a favor y ¡145 en contra!
Y, entre 1975 y 2004, de 12 selecciones en el torneo más antiguo del futbol en el mundo, navegó siempre entre el lugar antepenúltimo y último lugar.
Richard Alfred Mayela Páez Monzón o Richard Páez, -de exitoso paso en la actualidad como timonel de Millonarios de Bogotá- fue quien, tras el argentino José Omar Pastoriza- sentó las bases del éxito.
Quizá sea muy pronto para señalar culpables, pero sí creo que la Federación Venezolana de Futbol se equivocó al cesar a Richard Páez como entrenador, ya que si hubo un director técnico que le dio otra imagen al conjunto Vinotinto fue precisamente éste, y para muestra un botón: lo clasificó a cuartos de final en una Copa América por única vez.
La derrota 4-0 ante Brasil en un juego donde el gigante amazónico pudo haber hecho más, demuestra que Venezuela retrocedió a hace unos cuantos años atrás, cuando era el hazmerreír del continente. La cenicienta volvió a quitarse sus ropajes de lujo para ponerse los trapos ajados y ser maltratada por las hermanas más ricas de la región.

Está más que visto que al entrenador de Venezuela, César Farías, le quedó muy grande el paquete de dirigir a esta selección, la cual desde el inicio de la eliminatoria sudamericana pintaba para cosas importantes, por lo que a mí consideración debe hacerse a un lado y dejar el puesto a un director técnico que tenga la capacidad de sacar de la mediocridad a sus futbolistas.Lo que parecía un sueño que estaba tomando forma de ir por primera vez a un mundial, poco a poco se empieza a esfumar para el conjunto 'Vinotinto', luego de los pésimos resultados de sus últimos juegos, lo cual para su gente será un duro golpe, pues llegó a ilusionarse por el futbol que llevaron a practicar sus jugadores.
¿Qué te pareció el desempeño de Venezuela? ¿Crees que César Farías debe ser despedido? ¿Pecaron de soberbios?
El Chemo del Solar, entrenador de los indisciplinados peruanos -sólo falta recordar la cantidad de escándalos que ha habido con respecto a lo poco domésticos que son los jugadores de ese país- dijo que si Venezuela iba por los tres puntos, pues no se los conseguiría.
