Would you tell me a characteristic of Paraguayan football?
They are a power to mark and intense play. There are many long shots. This is remnant of the old days there is little good condition ground. They are strong in aerial combat; it is made use in both of offense and defense.

Would you tell me a good and bad point of Paraguayan football?
A good point of Paraguayan football is that new players come into existence one after another. A club that has a high level subordinate organization train young players who are on a level that can play in the top team. A bad point is a thing that it is not unusual that the date and a ground is change suddenly because a national league cannot do its conduct properly. However, this has been improved bit by bit. In addition, Pitch condition and little number of spectators in league match should be improved.

What is Paraguayan football developed in recent years?
The number of a player who plays in abroad increased immensely than before. I think that Paraguayan delegate football team that successively took part in the World Cup became famous to the world raised such prompt.

Who is an idol in Paraguayan football to Chiquiarce?
I like very much Romerito (Julio Cesar Romero, MF) and Juan Manuel battaglia (FW) who made play of many years in Colombia played the last season as a football player in Cerro Porteno in my childhood.

Would you tell me your feeling of Brazilian and Japanese football?
Brazilian football almost lays a stress on technique than marking. Japanese football movement is quick and all players do marking, moving around in a pitch because it is very importance that following a ball. They are very good counterattack player. In addition, Japanese players very treasure discipline in their training imprinted me.

Is there difference in method of training due to country?
There is not that difference in it. However, Japanese training is considerable hard. Substance is the almost same as Japan in South America countries but they does not make quantity of training as Japan.

Who is imprinted with you in your opposition? What character does have the player?
I have many chances to play a star player when I was in Brazil. Ejiveuton who continued with a play still in commission is very troublesome player. A forward player does not mark normally side back but he do the job very well. He accompanies me even when I attack. He is very good offence and defense player.

What is you are concerned in a match?
It will be changed on a characteristic of an opposition but first; it is researching well on the opposition. Particularly, I carefully watched a tape recording in advance that a competitor team is filmed with my team staff cooperated so that I does not panic in a match because I play many players who excellent in speed and technique in side back, a position I played.

What requirement is players should have to succeed in Paraguayan football?
It is go without saying that they have technique but physicality is important than technique in football. For that reason they have to earnestly work on daily training and care for their body, concerning about their privacy. I think that this is the same in Paraguayan football as well as every country football in the world.

Chiquiarce who is 34 years old this year stepped out the delegate but continued with play still in commission in Cerro Porteno, a powerful team of a Paraguayan national league. We would like him to move ever as it is!

What is a Paraguayan football character?
A Paraguayan football character is a very intense and vigorous play style. It is not enchanting football differ from Brazilian football but there is many players who excellent in technique in Paraguayan football.

Who is key player in Paraguayan delegate football team?
I cannot possibly narrow them to the sole player. I think that three players, Gamarra, DF, (Inter, Italy). Paredes, MF, (Reggina, Italy) and Cardozo, FW, (Toluca, Mexico), are most important players in the delegate. They who devoted everything to the delegate for years have been given joy to the Paraguayan nation. Paraguay carried off a silver medal at Athens Olympic games in last year because Gamarra and Cardozo let young team, Paraguayan U-23 delegate.

How do you think Paraguay versus Ecuador (defeat, 2-5) and Paraguay versus Chile (victory, 2-0) at a South America heat on the other day?
They got off to a good start in which there are speeds and force in Paraguay versus Ecuador but slow downed afterward. The soft defense and the goalkeeper’s mistake (especially when Ecuador scored first) in the middle stage of a game extinguished force of the front that is in condition. They who were easily breached the defense with the competitor conceded several goals in the second half. Lewis, the manager, betted with uses an unusual 3-5-2 system in Paraguay versus Chile. I think that this bet was good. Paraguayan delegate football team who excellently recovered from the severe result in Paraguay versus Ecuador showed a regular strength at the home ground to us.

Do Paraguayan delegate football team take part in the 2006 World cup?
I think that it is highly possible that they take part in the 2006 World cup. The delegate stated alternation of generations. Former star players, like Chilavert, Arce, Acuna, Campos and Ayala, quitted already. Indeed the gap is very great but players who newly entered the delegate do not still settled in the work but have a result. I think that the delegate surely takes part in the 2006 World cup in Germany with their insatiability utilized.

Finally, what are Japanese players can assimilate when they see Paraguayan football?
Paraguayan players stretch everything oneself have in a pitch and have a very powerful mentality that can reverse a disadvantageous result at the last second. I think that it is extremely good that Japanese football players feel such side at point-blank range.
