Paraguay’s victory over Colombia brought a pointed message from Gustavo Alfaro as well as a result to celebrate: the national team’s renewal cannot be sustained unless the country’s clubs improve their standard.
Alfaro links national-team progress to domestic game
- After Paraguay’s win against Colombia, Alfaro addressed the challenge of rebuilding the Albirroja.
- The Paraguay coach said the renewal process requires stronger performances and development within the domestic club game.
- He argued that Paraguayan clubs must raise their level if the national side is to have the platform needed for lasting progress.
Alfaro’s assessment placed the focus beyond the immediate triumph over Colombia. For the coach, results with the senior side are tied to the quality of the environment from which future internationals emerge.
The victory offered Paraguay encouragement on the pitch, but Alfaro made clear that a deeper improvement in Paraguayan football remains essential to the wider project.
