The experienced Paraguayan forward spoke before the match against the Celeste and highlighted the good mood of the Albirrojos after defeating Chile.
Roque Santa Cruz is not announced to start the game on Tuesday in Montevideo, but his opinion is more than valid before a match of the South American Qualifiers.
The Olimpia striker was the protagonist of the press conference on Monday.
"We always have respect for the Uruguayan national team", assured the former Bayer Munich and Manchester City player.
"A victory gives optimism and we must take advantage of the momentum we have", Santa Cruz highlighted.
About the good start of Francisco Arce in his second cycle leading the Albirroja, the player said: "I think Chiqui has been able to take advantage of the experience and wisdom he has gained in these years."
When asked about his absence in the main team, Roque Santa Cruz emphasized that he is "always willing to help the team, from wherever it may be."
