Darío Pereyra

Darío Pereyra's story is pure footballing romance to me. From Sauce in Uruguay's Canelones to Club Nacional and then São Paulo FC, where his centre-back partnership alongside Oscar made him a genuine star, he is still revered as one of the finest defenders in Brazilian football history. At 184 cm marshalling the back line, he must have been a reassuring sight. Moving into coaching after retirement fits perfectly; a man who knows defending in his bones carries unmatched authority when he teaches it. I'll always reserve my loudest applause for the craftsmen who stop goals rather than score them.

Alfonso Darío Pereyra Bueno (born 19 October 1956) is a Uruguayan former football player. Having played as a midfielder for Club Nacional de Football in his home country, he reached stardom playing for São Paulo FC as a centre-back along with Oscar. He is still remembered and revered as one of the best centre-backs in the history of Brazilian football.
