Paraguay striker Nelson Valdez is keen to ensure Argentina do not dominate possession when the two sides meet for a place in the Copa America final.
The pair will clash for the second time in this year's competition in Concepcion on Tuesday after drawing 2-2 in the group stages.
Argentina controlled proceedings in the opening 45 minutes of the first game with Paraguay and went 2-0 up before Ramon Diaz's men produced a superb fightback to claim a share of spoils.
Paraguay have since continued to defy expectations, drawing with Uruguay in the group stages and beating Brazil on penalties in the quarter-finals to set up another clash with Gerardo Martino's side.
"We don't want to make the same mistake [as in the first half against Argentina], [and] go back and forth without touching the ball," Valdez said.
Valdez added: "We are getting people to respect us again. We are among the top four in South America and we want more."
Attacking midfielder Javier Pastore praised the performance as Argentina's best under Martino – who took over as coach of the national team in August last year.
However, with Argentina having scored just four goals in as many games and Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi netting only once, Pastore is under no illusions as to where Martino's men are lacking.
"I think [last Friday against Colombia] was the best of the era of Tata," Pastore said. "We played perfectly, but we still lack a goal."
But Messi, Aguero and versatile midfielder Javier Mascherano are both a booking away from being ruled out of the final, meaning that Martino may need to exercise some caution as the World Cup runners-up attempt to reach their first Copa final since 2007.
