Paraguay is a party. It is in the second round and the president of the country has declared a national holiday today after eliminating Germany. In the mixed zone, the emotion was difficult to stop among the players. The first, the MVP of the match, Orlando Gill, who saved two penalties against the Germans, who had never lost a shoot-out in a World Cup.
“I am proud, happy, for the whole country too. It has been like a horror movie, the Germans were everywhere. I can’t even believe what we achieved, I don’t know what to say for what we achieved. Paraguayans always trusted us in the country, in good times and bad, so nothing more than to thank them”, commented Orlando Gill.
“In penalties anything can happen, you can hit or miss. We always had faith and thank God it happened in the last penalty. Germany was not doing well in the last World Cups, but we had all the respect for them. On the field we were going to kill, that’s how it is,” added the goalkeeper.
“I think there was a lot of talk about the fact that we were already out. Now I’m going to analyze this well in cold weather. The game was very complicated, but we held on well. I have respect for Neuer, he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and he also saved penalties.”
Enciso was one of the most excited. “Thank you all, I am happy and I must congratulate all my teammates for the effort they have made. The truth is that in the round we were all anxious for it to end as soon as possible in our favor and we had to wait until the end. Thank God we were able to pass. I have no preferences now, now we are going to enjoy and we are going to go for anyone. No one can take this away from us. The truth is that France has many stars but we are going to face it anyway,” he commented.
“I dedicate it to my grandfather, it is the best day of my life and only the reflection of him comes to me, it is a gift and a hug to our entire country and to our people. It goes for them too,” Enciso added almost through tears.
