Joaquín Piquerez Moreira, a true-blooded Uruguayan left-back, was born on August 24, 1998. This lad, representing the spirit of the charrúas, plies his trade at Palmeiras in Brazil's Serie A and dons the sky blue of the Uruguayan national team. Piquerez is the kind of player any manager dreams of having: rock-solid in defense, with a cultured left foot and boundless energy. His ability to maraud up and down the flank makes him a lethal weapon both in attack and defense. At Palmeiras, he's proven himself a leader at the back, bringing not only security but also that touch of class needed to break through the lines. Every time he pulls on the Uruguay jersey, his commitment and determination to leave everything on the pitch are evident. He's one of those players who, while not always grabbing the headlines, are essential cogs in the machinery of any team with ambitions of reaching the top.
