The shape of him
Kendry Páez is a 19-year-old forward at Independiente del Valle and a Ecuador international. In 26/27 that meant 31 club appearances and 1,180 minutes. A forward is judged on end product: goals, and the movement that finds space for them. The threat alone can pin defenders back.
The job
Stretch the defence and take the chances that come. Out of possession, lead the press from the front.
