As Victor Frankenstein found out, experiments can do more harm than good. For Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio, however, tinkering is the only way he can create a footballing monster for this year's Copa America Centenario.
Osorio, like Frankenstein, the lead character in Mary Shelley's novel, is happy to experiment, albeit on a football field rather than in a laboratory.
Since taking charge, the Colombian has had the chance to assess his players while steering Mexico to six straight wins. Admittedly the fixtures have been against weaker opposition, but they have scored 13 goals in his short tenure and conceded none.
