Copa America Quarter Finals between Paraguay and Brazil

posted on September 19, 2019 by in Paraguay

It’s time for Brazil to face Paraguay, their old enemies in the quarterfinals. This is the third time in a row that Brazil and Paraguay are coming face-to-face for Copa America. Between the two teams, one has seen the most number of successes in the history of the World Cup and the other one has never reached beyond the last eight. One has won five Copa America in the last 30 years, while the other has not won a single in the past 40 years. One of the teams boasts of its most capped player Cafu with the help of whom the nation won Champions League and World Cup championship thrice. The other team has Paulo da Silva, the former Sunderland center-back footballer. In spite of all the advantages that Brazil has, Paraguay managed to eliminate from the championships in 2011 as well as in 2015.

Brazil meant last-minute equalizer to many as they had the capacity to change the match at any point of time with a 2-2 draw against Paraguay some years ago in a Copa America match. It was a similar story every time; apart from the one that they finished with 0-0. The prospect of a high-pressing or a high-tempo match wedded to the habitual tendency of Paraguay is much appealing. But according to the evidence of the team, they remain as a work-in-progress team only. They have now become more of attacking threat than they were in the past, but with the increase of enhanced creativity, the vulnerability of the team have also increased.

The newly appointed coach for Paraguay national football team Juan Carlos Osorio talks about his plans for his new team. The Columbian accepted the offer to become the national team coach with Paraguay this time as they have not reached the world finals from 2010. The 57-year-old spoke to media about his prime reasons that made him accept the offer. He spoke about the philosophy of coaching and his expectations from the squad.

When Osorio was at the World Cup, he enjoyed being in the day to day level so much that he wondered if he should go back to managing the club. However, he realized it’s a great thing to be in the competition of that level in Russia. Therefore, he was on the lookout for a national team wherein he would obtain an opportunity to go to the World Cup to have a great experience of the day-to-day match. As far as South America is concerned, it mainly focuses on micro cycles. The training takes place from Monday to Thursday with the players and then they are back at their clubs to play during the weekends. Well, Paraguay operates in the same manner as there are 10 teams and he would work with a group of players. He will also try his best to improve the game played by the players through training and also through competition.
