Darío Pereyra

Darío Pereyra's story is pure footballing romance to me. From Montevideo 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.
