Brazil head coach Dunga (via Supersport): "Ramon [Diaz] is an experienced coach. He's enjoyed success at many different places such at River Plate and Monaco. He's my friend. We've shared good dinners together and good wine. He's special. As a player, he had a special talent and now as a coach he's doing a very good job. It'll be a finely balanced match. It'll be like a final."
Paraguay head coach Ramon Diaz (via Goal): "When this tournament started, we had to face Argentina, Jamaica and Uruguay and we have booked a place in the quarterfinals.

We have to stay calm, but also continue to give the maximum effort, so that they continue to accompany us throughout the whole of the tournament."
