The Paraguayan team lost again, but this time 1-0 against Uruguay in La Nueva Olla, and was on the verge of elimination from the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Luis Suárez scored the Celeste goal, which began the Diego Alonso era, the former DT of Guarani and Olympia. La Albirroja, who does not depend on herself, will play on Tuesday against Brazil.
How difficult it is to understand this selection
With little, with practicality, with announced actions, that is how they harm Paraguay. And it was not only Uruguay but also the previous ones. This team can not specify, can not take the good moments to the goal. The arch appears to be blocked. So much effort, all the demand seems in vain because the adversary, when he attacks, shakes everything.
Metaphorical and literal, like Luis Suárez and Diego Godín’s headers against Antony Silva’s goalposts. And the two, with 35 years each, were protagonists of the only goal. Dressed as an assistant, far from his zone of influence, Godín enabled Suárez so that the attacker could take advantage of a defense in line, shortening badly and enabling, and go straight to his nature: a cross shot and Uruguay up on the scoreboard.
In the complementary Albirroja never bothered. It was not dangerous, neither throwing nor trying to overflow. The best of this team was in the initial stage. Pressure and vertical game, with Miguel Almirón and Carlos González, but the efficiency, this one that La Celeste had, seems to be against it.

On the other side of the area, each corner kick was half a goal until Gustavo Gómez, who was expelled towards the end for a double yellow, asked Guillermo Barros Schelotto to change the mark of the Atlético Mineiro center-back and take it on each stopped ball.
Miguel Almirón lazy again, far from taking responsibility for driving. Braian Ojeda performed despite the limitations generated by the unusual position of the midfielder on the outside. Antonio Sanabria, who lost to Diego Godín in each center, was not the ideal company for González.

In the collective operation, except for the pressure on Ronald Araújo and some departures from that same lane, on the other side everything was announced and slow, including the rise of Juan Escobar.
This defeat in La Nueva Olla further removed the national team from the World Cup. Shore another failure, responsibility of the leadership and the previous coaching staff. Now for the miracle against Brazil.
Darío Herrera, punctilious
The judge sanctioned almost all the friction, the product of a game that Paraguay created in the first half with pressure. It did not affect the result.
He sanctioned each hard infraction with a yellow card trying to control the match and that no decision or determination remains conditioning the game. The red, for a double warning, to Gustavo Gómez was correct: the defender did not even protest. In the action of the goal, well supported by the assistant. Luis Suárez was enabled. The VAR, on this occasion, unnoticed.
