Independiente del Valle president comments on Kendry Páez's career

Michel Deller, president of Independiente del Valle, has addressed the current professional situation of Ecuadorian talent Kendry Páez. In a recent interview, Deller emphasized that while Páez possesses exceptional talent, the player must take responsibility for his own development and decisions.

Deller noted that Páez has made choices that have complicated his career path. After his high-profile transfer to Chelsea, the 19-year-old midfielder has struggled to find consistent playing time during loan spells at Strasbourg in France and River Plate in Argentina.

Highlighting the precarious nature of professional football, Deller warned that “opportunities are limited, not unlimited,” and stated that Páez’s ability to reach his best version depends on his personal and professional maturity.
