Under the leadership of Argentine specialist Eduardo Berizzo the Paraguayan national team has not had much success. In the last Copa America they were unable to secure a single victory, being eliminated in the quarterfinals from Brazil. Paraguayans often play in a draw, not knowing how to squeeze weaker opponents. In defense, it turns out to show reliability to the Paraguayans, but in the attacking line there are big problems that even the eminent Gonzalez, Almiron and Melgarejo cannot solve. In their last match Paraguay missed a victory against the national team of Peru, drawing 2:2.
