Lucas Olaza is an attacking left-back from Uruguay who brings quality and set-piece expertise to FK Krasnodar in Russia. Born in July 1994, Olaza made his name in South America with impressive spells at clubs like Boca Juniors and Celta Vigo, where his powerful left foot and delivery from wide areas stood out. He is a modern full-back, equally comfortable in defensive duties and surging forward to support the attack, with a particular talent for scoring stunning free-kicks. His performances earned him call-ups to the Uruguayan national team. Club honors include domestic trophies in Uruguay and Argentina. Now in the Russian Premier League, Olaza continues to be a major offensive threat from defense, a player capable of changing a game with one swing of his left boot.
