What They're Saying
Peru head coach Ricardo Gareca (via Goal): "We gave it [our] all, I congratulate the boys. We played and gave everything in the field. We had the dream of reaching the final, but did not. The assurance that we had left us. It does not make up for the fact that we lost. I know that the boys gave their all on the field. We could not give that joy to the people. We will continue to grow and this will empower us with time."
Paraguay head coach Ramon Diaz (via Goal): "This will help us to grow. We have to analyze the tournament, but we are pleased with the group. This Copa America is a wonderful experience for everyone. All the national teams have shown growth and a great World Cup qualification process is coming. Our opponents showed class and potential, but we are already thinking of Peru. We will do our best to get third place."
