Goalkeeper: Eduardo Lima
- @AtleticoVzla

No goalkeeper in Liga FUTVE has a higher @InStatFootball Index Rating than Lima (225), nor is their one who has made more saves (40) or supersaves (12). Despite only 1 clean sheet, Atletico are now unbeaten in 5 and Lima’s been pivotal.
Defender: Ismael Páez
- @Monagas_SC

Key to Monagas’ wingback utilising formation, Páez started the month on the right and ended it on the left, due to Oscar González’s positive PCR test result. He flourished on both sides, notching up 1 goal and 2 assists from defence.
Defender: Néstor Cova
- @Metropolitanos_

The rapid left back spent June – and May, really - bombing down the wing and delivering succulent crosses for the Metro frontline. A consistent performer in an inconsistent team. The league’s in-form player of his position with 5 assists.
Defender: Lucas Trejo
- @DvoTachira

The Aurinegro kept clean sheets in two of their four June games and the Argentine was vital in their defensive showings:
⛔️22 interceptions
❌28 challenges won (55%)
⚔️24 recoveries
Defender: Williams Pedrozo
- @FCYaracuyanos

The youngster has steadied a defence new to the top flight last season and already under new management this season. Two 1-1 draws and a 1-0 doesn’t set the world alight, but is a nod to their increasingly tightening defence.
Midfielder: Harrison Contreras
- @Carabobo_FC

With an overall success rate of 77% - 80% for passing and 64% for tackling - Contreras is what you want from a defensive midfielder in a team re-establishing itself. June may have been winless for Carabobo but Contreras impressed.
Midfielder: Jesus Gómez
- @EstudiantesMEFC

The talismanic captain may have kicked a ball for the last time this season due to injury but if it is the case he’s ended on a high. Set piece deliveries caused havoc for opponents all month:
👟3 assists
⚽️3 goals
🪄6 chances created
Midfielder: Yanowsky Reyes
- @Zulia_FC

The league’s top scorer isn’t s veteran striker nor the latest talented import, instead its a maverick #10 who plays as if he’s still on the playground. Watch him if you get the chance. His dribbling is exquisite and he shone in June.
Forward: Juan Camilo Zapata
- @HnosColmenarez

Liga FUTVE and its fans should not forget nor disregard this man’s story. Two years ago he was playing amateur football in Medellin, turning out for three or four teams a weekend to make ends meet. Now he’s a star turn in Barinas.
Forward: Juan Carlos Ortiz
- @Monagas_SC

Four games, five goals, one assist, and our Player of the Month. Monagas are a team transformed this season and June saw them surge to the top of the group, second only on goals scored, thanks to this man’s efforts.
Forward: Ángel Osorio
- @FCGranValencia

The surprise team of the season keep surprising. They remain the only unbeaten side in the league & 4 Osorio goals in June are largely to thank. He’s only ever once had a better season return and that was in 2011/12 (8). He’s already on 6.
Head Coach: Jhonny Ferreira
- @Monagas_SC

He is quietly staking an early claim for Manager of the Year. His 5-3-2 is producing wonderfully exciting football at times and his varied deployment of Albert Zambrano has been masterful. Ferreira excelled over his peers this month. Image

A makeshift Venezuela XI faced Brazil yesterday after Peseiro’s squad was plagued with injury and positive PCR results.

It led to full debuts for four players:
🇻🇪@DvoLaGuaira’s Adrián Martínez, Francisco La Mantia, & Yohan Cumana
🇺🇸@PhilaUnion’s Brujo Martínez

🧶A Thread:
Adrian Martínez - CB, 27

He was playing in the Venezuelan second division just 3 years ago and now he’s scored in the Libertadores and made his international debut against a front three of Richarlison, Neymar, and Gabriel Jesus.

@SofaScoreLA Rating: 6.8
Francisco La Mantia - CB, 25

Four years on from a 7 minute cameo vs. USA, La Mantia made his full debut. A 2020 Liga FUTVE champion and produce of successful academy @AcEmFC, he arrived in Brazil as emergency back up less than 24 hours before KO.

@SofaScoreLA Rating: 6.7

|Brazil vs. Venezuela|#CopaAmerica|
- Match Thread

José Peseiro names a 5-4-1 for the competition opener. The 7-man bench contains 2 goalkeepers and the starting XI sees four players make their full international debuts. In 26 games between the two, 🇧🇷 have won 22 & scored 90. ImageImage
In the history of the tie, Venezuela have achieved 3 draws and just 1 win, scoring a total of 8 goals. The last Copa América tie with Brazil finished 0-0. Today, that would be a miracle.

Viewers in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 can watch the game (10pm KO) on @BBCSport or the @BBCiPlayer. #CopaAmerica
Brazil go with the starting XI reported by Brazilian media outlet Globo yesterday. The hosts have no intention of going gently on their severely impacted opponents it seems.

José Peseiro has stayed level-headed in pre-match press conferences, promising 300% from Venezuela. ImageImage

Estudiantes de Mérida ⚔️ Hermanos Colmenárez

Estudiantes face Hermanos in a match which could change the direction of either’s year.

Estudiantes can leap to 2nd, while Hermanos could rocket to 3rd. This match’s previous edition gave Hermanos their 1st win of the season. #FutVe ImageImage
3’: GOOOOOL! ⚽️

Jesús Gómez scores from the penalty spot following a foul in the box to give Estudiantes an early lead!

It’s a calm and confident penalty attempt, which sends the keeper the wrong way and makes it 1-0. #FutVe
10’: Edson Rivas finds the back of the net for Estudiantes but is ruled offside shortly after a burst of possession for Hermanos in the final third. 1-0. #FutVe
