Journey to Brazil 2014

The player added 55 minutes with the national team in a single match.

Paraguay vs. Peru

"It's going to be a very nice match to finish the Copa América, I believe Paraguay will come out with the same enthusiasm they showed throughout the tournament and will go for third place"

About Paraguay's performance in the Copa América:

"Very good, the team has shown a very high level in this tournament, I think the arrival of Ramón Díaz has been very beneficial because the team was not performing well and now we are showing again the level of the Paraguayan national team."

Ramón Díaz:

"I believe that in the short time he has been there, he has shown that he is a good coach and in this Copa América the team has performed very well. Unfortunately, we lost the victory against Argentina, but I'm sure in the qualifiers we will once again show the level that has always characterized us."

The team's improvement:

"I think it has improved a lot, the team has played very well, they are running a lot, they are putting in effort and at the same time we are controlling the ball more. So Ramón Díaz's work is functioning very well."

The new of the National Team:

"The truth is that there are many new things, they are playing more with the ball, generating more goal opportunities, not everything is through aerial plays. So there you can see Ramón's work and also the new players who are showing that they can be part of the national team and surely there will be others to look for renewal"

About the lack of renewal:

"Surely the previous coach had a selected base and did not call them up, and this time it was time to renew the team and I believe that Ramón Díaz will do it very well. There is a lot of future in the Paraguayan players who are new and his work is going to be very good."

Promising future:

"From what I have seen, the team has improved a lot and is very strong. Now the Paraguayan players will have to show it and perform at the level that we want, to win something, because there are more players to call up and to choose from"

Peru is not a surprise:

"Peru has always been a team that fights for everything, now with the arrival of the new coach Ricardo Gareca, I think they are doing things well. I believe it's going to be a very nice match today, both teams have new coaches and surely Paraguay will want to win the third place."

Memories of his national team experiences:

"I had the opportunity to be in the previous qualifiers alongside 'Chiqui' Arce and coach Pelusso. I played as a starter in the first match against Peru, then as a substitute against Uruguay, and then I played against Ecuador. I also scored a goal in the seniors in a friendly against Panama, which we won 2-0 at the Rommel Fernández stadium on September 3, 2011."

Already faced Peru:

"It was my first match in a qualifier, I was a starter, we were playing away and we lost 2-0"
