Chile 2015: Roque Santa Cruz, Paraguayan forward, speaks about Argentina and Messi.

Roque knows how to play the Cup. With this edition of Chile 2015 he adds his fourth. Highlighted by coach Ramon Diaz as one of the leaders who supports the young players in the group, he understands that it is an opportunity to regain the confidence of Paraguayan fans who have been affected by recent campaigns. Author of the two goals in the last friendly against Honduras, he shared his thoughts before facing Lionel Messi's team.

Argentina as an opponent: In many ways, Argentina's condition as favorites is assumed. We don't feel any less, the game starts 0-0. The pressure is on them, not us. Additionally, they will have problems if they tie with us.

The level they are at: We are all aware that the preparation time was not that long, but there is a willingness to improve, to position ourselves better in the football environment. That's why we have doubled our efforts.

The bet with Ramon Diaz: We made a bet with the coach about how many goals I will score in Chile. But it stays between us.

The beginning of a new stage: The last Copa America marked an upward point in what we were doing, but it ended in an uncomfortable situation. On Saturday, a new stage begins and there are many fans who are undecided. But we will make people believe in us again. We are excited, it is a magnificent opportunity to vindicate ourselves with ourselves and with the people.

His physical condition: I arrive well. I had a physical problem in Cruz Azul that I have already overcome. I arrive with rhythm to play this Cup.
