Matías Aguirregaray

Matías Aguirregaray is a wonderfully transnational footballer: born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, capped by Uruguay, and carrying a Spanish passport that lets him pass as an EU player. Nicknamed El Vasquito, he is a defender who at 174 cm is undersized for the role, which tells me he wins with reading and grit rather than reach. That is the kind of player I gravitate toward. Uruguayan football has always prized stubborn, scrappy defending, and he feels like a living embodiment of it. Plying his trade at Montevideo Wanderers, he is the sort of dependable, unglamorous pro that good teams are quietly built on.
