Is Paraguay World Cup Squad Strong Enough?

Paraguay World Cup squad has been announced officially, as they’re getting ready to return to the global stage. This will be their first showing since 2010, putting an additional pressure and excitement on the team. Coach Gustavo Alfaro has picked a well-rounded team. It seems the emphasis is definitely on combining youth with experience. Julio Enciso is likely to be the spear bearer. He’ll be important for Paraguay, particularly in tight situations, when they will need to move him quickly. What’s interesting about the squad is that young players are included. Just 20-years-old, Alexandru Maidana made the cut.

This demonstrates the coach’s faith in new talent. It also indicates that Paraguay are preparing for more than just this tournament, they are preparing for the future. Diego Gomez brings power and commons to the midfield. His experience in Europe has enhanced his game awareness and physical level. He might play a crucial role in defense and attack. Alfaro’s approach to football is structured from a tactical perspective. Paraguay will probably maintain their tight structures and size.

They will not seek to dominate possession but they will place emphasis on discipline and fast transitions. The biggest challenge is going to be under pressure. When you come back, after so many years, you have high expectations. In pivotal moments players such as Enciso will be held accountable. The entire team has a well-formulated strategy in general. Paraguay are assembling a competitive side, rather than just handing over the keys to big names. This team is capable of beating stronger teams if they are good, if they are good, they will surprise the stronger teams.
