Claudio Morel Rodríguez irala

Claudio Morel Rodríguez is the sort of player I find quietly thrilling. A left-back rarely owns records, yet he holds the most Copa Sudamericana titles with three, won across San Lorenzo and Boca Juniors. That tells you he turned up for the biggest South American nights again and again. Coming from a footballing family, the son of a former Paraguay international, he carried a legacy and added to it through defensive graft rather than glamour. I love a flashy striker as much as anyone, but it is the men who do the hard, unglamorous work at the back who really earn my respect.
