My Take
I love that Édgar Benítez is nicknamed Pájaro, the bird, because it captures something about how a midfielder should move. Born in Paraguay's Caaguazú Department, he earned 56 caps for his country and featured at the 2010 World Cup, where Paraguay reached the quarter-finals, a genuinely strong side. Add two Copa América appearances and Mexican citizenship, and you get the classic South American path: a player forged at home, then sharpened in the demanding Mexican league. I respect footballers who represent smaller nations on the biggest stages, carrying a whole country's hopes. Benítez clearly belonged there, flying across the pitch as his nickname promised.
