Gustavo Alfaro spoke to the media before the start of the FIFA date: “Thanks to Ecuador, thanks to the players, to all that beautiful experience that they made me go through. And that I will take with me and I will take it with me until the end of my days. Today, thank God, I have a granddaughter to tell tomorrow that her grandfather had a place in the world where he was happy and I hope he has another one, where he can be as happy as Ecuador was.”
“So for me to return is very difficult, it is very hard, but today Gustavo Alfaro is speaking here as a person, the coach of Paraguay has left, I will try to be the coach of Paraguay again because I know that he needs me, I know that the boys need me, we have a very big dream, I hope we can do the things that we did in the previous FIFA date, but more than what happens on the field of play, the result will not change absolutely anything.”
“Everything I said about the affections gained are temporary and those lost are usually forever, the affection that I gained, that Ecuador generated in me, for me will be forever and as long as I live, it will always be a great happiness to return to Ecuador.”
Sebastián Beccacece declared before the clash between these teams: “It is a high-risk match, which we must play with extreme concentration, in a game in which we will have to assume the leading role. Paraguay’s solid blocks are historically complex. I think that the quality of the attacks is important here: managing that issue and being well organized because in those carelessness or losses they have players of imbalance and speed. Players who know the height, surely the attacker (Álex Arce) will play.”
“We have worked on all the details, individual, collective, the audiovisual talks, on the field. We have them all fit. There are two who will not be able to be there and it creates discomfort, because they train well, but the regulations allow 23.”
“The qualifiers are very even. If there are tendencies, like with Peru we dominated more, with Brazil it was more even. I wish we could have that territorial dominance in all the matches, but it is also true that it is the most complicated thing to solve when a team retreats. If that happens, we prepare ourselves, if they dominate us, we also do it.”
