What Brazil winning the Copa America would mean for PSG's Marquinhos and Beraldo
By Edward Otto
The Copa America will kick off next week with several teams competing to win the elusive trophy on July 15th. Argentina and Brazil will be the two hot favourites coming into the tournament with good reason as they are the best two teams in the tournament.
Brazil have two PSG players in the shape of Marquinhos and Lucas Beraldo who could play a prominent role for their nation at the tournament. At PSG Post we discuss how a successful month in America could impact their upcoming season positively.
What Brazil winning the Copa America would mean for PSG's Marquinhos and Lucas Beraldo?
It could do their confidence the world of good
If Brazil ends up winning the tournament with Marquinhos and Lucas Beraldo keeping clean sheets and putting great defensive performances on the journey it will benefit PSG. The center-backs will come into next season full of confidence and belief.
They both could do with a brilliant tournament as Les Parisians fell just short in the semi-final stage against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. Their national team also needs a strong showing this summer after a disappointing World Cup exit at the hands of Croatia on penalties.

It will stake their claim as the starting center-backs
If Marquinhos and Lucas Beraldo perform at the Copa America for Brazil it will give Luis Enrique a selection headache ahead of the next campaign.
The Spanish coach already has many brilliant centrebacks at his disposal, such as Danilo Pereira, Lucas Hernandez, and Milan Skriniar. The dilemma will be why break up a defensive partnership that has worked well for one of international football's biggest powerhouses.
