I told him if I could go in as a nine to look for the centers “I had a lot of confidence and, unfortunately, I didn’t have any left.”expressed Valdez in statements to the media Paraguaywith a joking tone that bothered the fans.
The entry of the central scoreboard was surprising not only because of the position on the playing field that it occupied, but also because it replaced Nicolas Figalwhich at that time was one of the highest points of Almirón’s team and left the field with a notorious anger with the coach.
“The locker room was silent, there was a lot of sadness, we looked at each other… Nothing to reproach ourselves, we put in some effort. I had a great hope. Now we turn the page, try to qualify again for the next Cup”he added about the fall with Fluminense.

Finally, he referred to the unusual expulsion of the left back Frank Fabra: “If we stayed with eleven we could have changed the result, but we don’t know. This continues.
