Cerro Porteño Seeks Copa Paraguay Glory

Despite a disappointing season marked by numerous setbacks and subpar performances, Cerro Porteño remains in contention for a coveted trophy: the Copa Paraguay.

As the team prepares to face Sol de América in the semifinals this Sunday at Itauguá, coach Gustavo Costas emphasized the importance of mental preparation and psychological support for his players.

“Today, coaches need to be more psychologists,” Costas said. “We have to work a lot on the players’ minds. They consume a lot of social media, and it affects them greatly. We have to be on top of them, motivating them constantly.”

Costas acknowledged that some players are more resilient than others, but he believes that with proper support, anyone can overcome their challenges.
