Nico Paz Como elegance

The suit is the first clue. Nico Paz shows up at the stadium dressed like he's got a meeting after, then goes and does things with a ball that almost nobody in this era bothers with anymore. What he's doing at Como is madness in the best way: the aerial control, the sombrero lifted over a defender, the touch that kills the ball dead with two guys closing on him. Aura is the only word. Most elegant player out there, pure finishes, the standout of the match, and somehow he walks back to his house with the kit still clean. That's the part that gets me. We've been waiting for a player like this. PASS, MR. SOCCER.
