Paraguay will focus on cutting supply to Argentina captain Lionel Messi when the teams meet in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier, head coach Eduardo Berizzo has said.

Berizzo told reporters on Wednesday (IST) that his players had been briefed on how to stop Messi`s teammates in Thursday`s match, explaining that it is futile to try to stop the 34-year-old Paris Saint-Germain forward when he is already possession.
