The plan was to add in the height of La Paz and with the fall the chances are complicated. But the national team does not give up until the last round is burned. That is why he will seek a feat in Argentina.

The more than 3,600 meters above sea level took its toll on us. Oxygen was lacking again. Although we had the opportunity to even win, after the expulsion of Henry Baca, we did not know how to take advantage of the numerical superiority. And they sentenced us.
