Leandro Paredes is Argentina's deep-lying metronome — a holding midfielder who dictates tempo through short passing and positional discipline rather than pressing intensity. His peak club years came at PSG alongside Verratti and Marquinhos, and he was a trusted starter for Scaloni throughout the Qatar 2022 campaign, including the final. A return to Boca Juniors has kept him sharp domestically. His role in the national team is to protect the back four and recycle possession, freeing Enzo Fernández and Mac Allister to operate higher — a function he performs with quiet authority.
