La Albirroja’s Resurrection: Can Paragua...

MRNM
About this episode

After twelve years in the wilderness, Paraguay is back on the world stage with a chip on its shoulder and a wall at the back. Join us as we break down Gustavo Alfaro’s tactical blueprint, the defensive masterclass of Gustavo Gómez, and the explosive potential of Julio Enciso and Antonio Sanabria. From their grueling defensive structure to their underdog status in Group D, we explore whether this blend of "youthful exuberance" and grit can recreate the magic of 2010 or if the lack of depth will cut the dream short.
