Midfielder Leandro Paredes has always impressed since his transfer to Zenit St. Petersburg from Roma. He also attracted the interests of Real Madrid and Juventus but failed to make an impression on Jorge Sampaoli, who left him out of the final world cup squad.
The Argentinian coach favoured AC Milan’s Lucas Biglia over Paredes, even though he knew the fact that the former offers less flexibility in midfield when compared to the latter. The midfielder has the pace and strength to easily play as the centre midfield, an advantage the one-dimensional Biglia does not offer. Isn’t all this enough evidence to suggest that the 24-year-old deserves to be on the plane to Russia this summer for world cup.
