The recent call-up of Kevin Amaro to the Uruguayan National Team, under the direction of Marcelo Bielsa, was not just a surprise but the confirmation of his meteoric rise.
At 21, the Liverpool Montevideo right-back became the only player called up from the local league for the last double fixture of the qualifiers, a milestone he himself defined as a tremendous source of pride and a signal that hes on the right track.
But beyond the recognition, this call-up placed the young prospects fascinating tactical evolution squarely in the spotlight.
Kevin Amaro transitioned from being an organising wing-back with above-average passing quality in 2023 to excelling as a winger this year, leveraging his physique for repeated efforts and intelligent runs into depth.
This versatility earned him a spot on the national team.
However, upon his return to Liverpool, Amaro reverted to his original position as a full-back, and hes done so in an even more sophisticated manner: he has consolidated his instinct as a wide satellite, capable of traversing the pitch like an attacking midfielder and designing build-up play from the lateral zone.
