Miguel Figueredo, head of the APF Football Department, did not hide and gave details of the harsh atmosphere that existed among the Paraguayan national team players, after the worst Paraguayan participation (three defeats in as many matches) in almost 100 years of history within the Copa América.
“Some of them (players) told us: ‘we are very ashamed because the results are not coming, the management gives us everything and we cannot get results’,” said the manager in a chat with Deportes Uno.
Figueredo explained that the group’s “dismay” at such a delicate moment is “terrible” and seems to have no explanation. “We are in a mental stage that is costing us a lot,” he stressed.
Regarding the criticism of the call-up of certain players, the former president of Sol de América insisted that it is “the exclusive responsibility of the coach” and there is no room for the versions that indicate that “businessmen put together the team” for the coach.
Finally, Figueredo indicated that “APF’s wallet is fine” and that is why an effort will be made to bring in a renowned coach to cover the departure of Daniel Garnero.
