After playing draw in group stage, the Paraguay boss Ramon Diaz claims Argentina and Lionel Messi
are the best in the world but believes his side can cause a shock by reaching
the Copa America final.
Diaz's Paraguay face Argentina in Tuesday night's Copa
America semi-final with the winners to meet hosts Chile in the final.
While Diaz acknowledges Argentina's qualities, Paraguay
remain unbeaten - having drawn with Argentina during the group stage - and
defeated Brazil on penalties in the previous round.
Ahead of Tuesday's tie, Diaz said of Argentina: 'They have
the best player in the world: Messi.
'They are the best team in the world, but it will be a
difficult match for both teams.
'Sometimes, when teams are favourites, it is hard for them
in these type of matches.'
'We have learned that we cannot go out and close up at the
back against Argentina,' he added. 'We have to go out and play.
This will be
different. We know that if we make mistakes, we could miss out on the final.
