Mirror, mirror? Mexico encounters Paraguay team with similar style thanks to managers' roots

When Mexico lines up against Paraguay on Tuesday, it will look across the midfield line and see a team that looks a lot like itself.

Paraguay, like El Tri, is starting a new cycle with a manager currently more focused on establishing a style of play than getting results. It's the second game with that coach, Eduardo Berizzo, in place, and they'll be looking for the ball. Mexico manager Tata Martino felt that strategy was worth laying out to a press corps often used to seeing teams from smaller countries sit back and hope for the best against El Tri.
