#2 Right-back: Mauricio Isla (Chile)
It’s a recurring theme amongst Chile’s stars, but there is a real sense that they over-perform when donning the national shirt. Isla is one of many examples of this phenomenon.
Signed by then Juventus boss Antonio Conte in 2012 as a right wing-back after excelling at Udinese, he found it difficult to dislodge the incumbent Stephan Lichtsteiner for the Bianconeri, and spent last season on loan at relegated Queens Park Rangers where his form was up and down.
This wasn’t aided by Harry Redknapp’s decision to abandon his initial three-man defensive system - with an eye to which he was signed - and the team as a whole started performing poorly. At this Copa América, he was back to his very best, patrolling the entire flank indefatigably. He also chipped in with the only goal in their tense quarter-final encounter with a dogged Uruguay side.
