Although the decisive penalty was executed by José María Canale, the standout figure of the Germany vs. Paraguay match was Orlando Gill. “I’m really very happy about this advancement. It was an extremely tough match, but we managed to endure it,” said the goalkeeper of La Albirroja, as quoted by El Partidazo de COPE.
“We dedicated a lot of time to analysing penalties, and fortunately, I managed to save the first one and later stopped a second,” added the 26-year-old, who is currently playing for Argentina’s San Lorenzo.
In the Round of 16, Gustavo Alfaro’s team will face the winner of the France vs. Sweden clash. “Let anyone come forward. Paraguay will be ready for anything,” stated the hero of the Germany encounter.
“We’ll see what happens after the World Cup. Then we’ll sit down and discuss the matter,” concluded Gill, responding to a question regarding a potential move to Spain and fulfilling his dream of playing in La Liga.
