Tacuary will play again in the First Division of Paraguayan soccer after ten years, after having finished in the third position of the Intermediate 2021, thus earning one of the three direct tickets for promotion that the competition gave.

The Tacuary of that time was recognized by all for being a team that prioritized the goal at zero, closing all the spaces behind and taking advantage of the desperation of an opponent to get hurt.

In this regard, his current coach, Daniel Lanata, was consulted and if a similar Tacuary will be seen again or not. The coach valued what “Tacua” had done at that time, but “disassociated himself” from that style of play.

“We are going to have a team that is going to try to play, a team that goes out to play football. The previous “Tacua” perhaps played 10 meters further back, but when we can, we will press. We will be a team that will try to have the ball, be vertical,” Lanata told Versus Radio on Universo 970 AM.

Even so, he highlighted the “previous” Tacuarto. “You have to highlight that team. That Tacuary achieved many things with a defined style and hopefully the new Tacuary can also reach that,” he said.

Paraguayan goalkeeper Antony Silva once again had an outstanding performance at Puebla. His team achieved a great 2-0 away win against the Tigres, where attacker Carlos González plays.

Silva was the great figure of the game, keeping his goal to zero despite the attacks of the rival team, who also tried to shoot more than 20 times and 9 went directly to the goal, so Silva achieved the same number of covered .

One of them was even amazing. Ten minutes into the second half, with the game already 2-0, a corner kick from the left landed near the head of the small area and the Tigres attacker managed to deflect it towards Silva’s goal, but the goalkeeper dived to avoid it.

But the action did not end there, as Antony’s save caused a rebound to rise and go into the goal, but the goalkeeper raised his right arm to push the ball out, achieving an incredible double save.

It was Puebla’s first victory in the Clausura tournament, which on the first date had equaled against América. In Tigres, Carlos González entered in the second half.
