Finding a direction: Berizzo looks for alternatives

In an attempt to consolidate a playing style for the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers, coach Eduardo Berizzo prepares a variant of names.

Miguel Almirón is an obligatory absence after being sent off in the defeat against Serbia (1-0). In that match, moments of high pressure and speed were experienced, which is the style the Paraguayan coach seeks to impose.

With a disappointing record in results (5 defeats in 11 games in the Berizzo era), the team needs a win to regain confidence since there are only two more friendly matches left in the preparation cycle (in November, against Venezuela and Argentina).
