Additional Skills
Pepe Schiaffino, this lanky Uruguayan with a horse-like face and narrow torso, arrives in Serie A at 29 springs and is mocked for his appearance, but he will make them all eat dust!
He is an absolute ace, dominating everything and everyone, excelling as both a trequartista and a mezzala, or even further back when fatigue sets in.
He possesses a unique vision of the game, exquisitely educated feet, a goal-scoring sense of a true forward, and is everywhere like Apollo, touching thousands of balls in the 90 minutes.
He is a sort of Platini—if the comparison is allowed—in a South American style, but even more of a team player than the French talent.
