BERLIN, June 15 (Xinhua) -- Paraguay coach Anibal Ruiz felt painful to answer questions after his team losing to Sweden.

    During their match of Group B, Paraguay lost at the last minute 0-1 to Sweden and have to pack home.

    "This is the World Cup, so of course this is painful. It's painful for the boys, it's painful for me, but this is life. Sometimes you don't achieve all the things you would wish to," he said during an after-match press conference.

    But he thought it was a balanced match, "although Sweden probably had more possibilities to score goals and more possession".

    "I attempted with my substitutions to give our play more aggression. Roque Santa Cruz was tired and Julio Dos Santos was going to play in any case, so it was a good time to make the change. Unfortunately, one player had a muscular contraction and that meant we weren't able to implement our tactical plan," he explained the reason why his men could not open goal.

    "But it's useless to complain. It hurts, but we congratulate the other team on their victory," he added. Enditem
