PROFILE

Entrerríos is a team player, a natural leader and highly versatile. He usually plays as a centre back but can play anywhere on the first line if called upon. He is strong in the one on one and connects well with the central playmaker. He combines solidity in defence and attack and is noted for being a very hard worker that always fights until the end.
