Nelson Valdez: 'Argentina are favourites'

Nelson Valdez says that Paraguay will give their best against Argentina, when the teams meet in the semi-finals of the Copa America.

Paraguay striker Nelson Valdez has claimed that Argentina are favourites to beat his side in the semi-finals of the Copa America.

The two teams both won penalty shootouts to book their place in the last four of the tournament, and they will meet for a spot in the final on Tuesday evening.

"They are favourites. Not only ahead of this match, but to win the tournament," he told reporters.

"However, we came here to battle every rival, as we usually do. We have to give our best, with effort, with passion. We want to achieve more."

Paraguay and Argentina shared a 2-2 draw in the group stages of the tournament.
