What They're Saying
Mexico head coach Miguel Herrera (via ESPN FC): "I'm going to prioritize the Gold Cup, we won't belittle anyone. The [Gold Cup] group doesn't look so solid, but in the knockouts and the final against Honduras, the United States or Costa Rica, who are strong teams, [the competition is fiercer]."
Paraguay head coach Ramon Diaz (via Goal): "I don't know them [all of the players], but I know the head coach well. I know that he likes to play with five at the back, three in the middle and two up top. We know his style of play, to play counter attacking soccer on the wings, but we have our style of play and I'm sure this will be a great game."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Things haven't gone well for Raul Jimenez since joining Atletico Madrid from Club America. In 16 league appearances, with 12 coming off the bench, the 23-year-old has one goal and an assist.
