If we want to compete to the players´flow to Europe we must have a strong Libertadores. Is it enough just to give power to Brazilian and Argentinian leagues? No. We have not just to give power to Boca Juniors, São Paulo, Internacional and Grêmio. They were the last champions and runners-up of the tournament. They are great and powerful South American teams. But they need other powerful support role teams. We have to give power to LDU, Union Maracaibo, Bolivar, Cienciano and other teams that come from Ecuador, Venezuela, Bolivia and Peru. This countries didn´t have the proud of being Libertadores champions. We have to give power also to Uruguay, Chile, Colombia and Paraguay. They have already achieved glory, but ancient glory. Uruguayan Nacional and Peñarol are 2 of the great champions of Libertadores. Together they have achieved 8 titles. But the last title of both were on 1988 for Nacional and on 1987 for Peñarol. It´s almost 20 years of the last Uruguayan title. Colombia have given to South America Atlético Nacional from Medellin, América from Cali and Once Caldas from Manizales. Atletico Nacional and Once Caldas have achieved their titles on 1989 and 2004. But these were random occasions. America from Cali have worst profile. They have achieve 1985, 1986 and 1987 runners-up title and have lost their titles to Argentinos Juniors, River Plate and Peñarol in a row. Paraguay and Chile are armies of just one soldier. They have given Olimpia and Colo Colo to Libertadores. Olimpia have achieved their titles on 1979, 1990 and 2002. The first one beating the holders Boca Juniors. Chile have given Colo Colo to Libertadores list of Champions. They have achieved their title on 1991 after beating the holders Olimpia. But Chile have given also Union Española and Universidad Catolica. Union Española have been beaten by the capo of the tutti capi Independiente de Avellaneda on 1975. Universidad Catolica have been beaten by the holders São Paulo on 1993. It´s our will to have a great Libertadores as Europe have a great UEFA Champions League. Power to the South American soccer.
