SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Gerardo Martino, Argentina coach:

(On Chile's Gonzalo Jara's provocation of Uruguay's Edison Cavani and facing the referee from that match, Brazilian Sandro Ricci, in the semi-final)

"I have nothing to say. The problem that might have happened with the referee between Chile and Uruguay is a problem that CONMEBOL will deal with, the ones who choose the referees, regarding what happened in the match with Cavani. What happened with him was shameful. I have nothing more to say."

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Gerardo Martino, Argentina coach:

(reflecting on his time as the Paraguay coach, 2006-2011)

"I had several World Cups, several Copa America campaigns with them. A deep relation with several of them. I know most of them, was their coach. It's clear that I went on a path with six of their biggest players today. They have grown as footballers and they made me grow as a coach. It's clear that everything that happened in my career after Paraguay, they were a big part of it."

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Gerardo Martino, Argentina coach:

(On Paraguay and his expectations of their style of play)

"We will meet a Paraguay side that will resemble more the one we faced in the second half (of the 2-2 draw in Goup B), similar with the one that faced Brazil, not the one we faced in the first half. Either way, we are prepared to face the tactical changes of Paraguay. We will try to impose our game in order to repeat what we did at in that first half and continue it over the full 90 minutes."
