Argentina defeated Egypt 3-2 in the FIFA World Cup round of 16 to advance to the next round. After the match, Paredes spoke to Radio La Red about the team's belief in fighting until the end.

On the field, did you ever feel that the game might turn around?

I think this is exactly what we represent as a team: always fighting until the last minute. Today, we once again proved that we are a team that always gives our all and is willing to stand up for our country, and we did it again.

What do you usually say to yourself in the locker room?

I feel very lucky and truly honored to be part of this national team. Over the past seven or eight years, I have played with some of the best midfielders in Argentina, and it is a pleasure for me to play alongside them.
