Alfredo Ábalos is a veteran Argentine forward whose career has been defined by creativity and longevity. Now 39, Ábalos currently plays for San Marcos de Arica, bringing his vast experience to the Chilean football scene. Operating mainly on the left wing, but comfortable anywhere across the attacking line, his game has always been about technique, vision, and clever movement rather than pure pace. His journey has spanned many years and clubs, where he has been a provider of goals and a mentor to younger players. Even in the latter stages of his career, his football intelligence and passing ability allow him to dictate play in the final third. Ábalos is a testament to the enduring class of the classic South American *enganche* or playmaker, adapting his role to remain effective on the pitch.
