Paredes makes the bench for Wolfsburg today in their match against Stuttgart. 🐺 STARTING 11 🐺 Here's how we'll line-up to take on VfB Stuttgart ⬇️ #WOBVfB #VfLWolfsburg 🟢⚪️ pic.twitter.com/B9mouTxwqy— VfL Wolfsburg EN/US 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 (@VfLWolfsburg_EN) October 1, 2022
Here he comes again! 76th minute, tied at 2. More meaningful minutes for this talented young man. We'll see if he capitalizes.
Another bright sub appearance, as he was extremely active on both ends, slick w/ his touches, and his run + knock down effort started out the game-winning goal sequence in this pivotal match. I think it's time for Paredes to get starts.
Winning a header is a nice little bennie here -- Paredes has never looked good at it and, at least by my eye, seemed to shy away from them in previous Bundesliga appearances.
He won a couple 2-3 of them on the day, and got on the end of another long ball. So those would both be additions to his game. Regardless, I just think he's making contributions partially on the attitude that he wants to. He's trying to impact the game any way he can in his limited time to get more of it. Different games will yield different strengths. This is the mark of a player who'll be progressing in his career, not regressing. With him, I think the concern will more be if he can stay healthy w/ his frame & style.
Might be Wolfsburg know what they are doing playing him that sparingly. He is still very young, might have a different body in a year, avoiding injuries meanwhile.
Drats, he's still on the bench, in spite of his solid play off it thus far: Here's how we'll kick things off today against @FCA_World ⬇️ 🇸🇪 Mattias Svanberg is absent due to illness. #FCAWOB #VfLWolfsburg 🟢⚪️ pic.twitter.com/at7rcbSxV4— VfL Wolfsburg EN/US 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 (@VfLWolfsburg_EN) October 8, 2022
Nothing particularly notable either way. Helped see the road draw out for them. Wolfsburg were closer to scoring in the end. They were heavily playing head tennis. Not conducive to Paredes shining. Still fought for some possessions & clearances. Feel like he's looked at as the rook & outsider when he gets bypassed. Guess he's got to earn his stripes, but I feel he has. Looks like he belongs. The gaffer could expand his role. But the situations he's coming in off the bench still display some trust he's fostered. Guess he/we have to show some patience. Before too long there has to be a clamor though. It's not like the alternatives are satisfying the Wolves' expectations.
He touched the ball very little because he was playing high and wide & his rb sucks. But he made the most of them. 1581303857963204609 is not a valid tweet id
some nice plays from Kevin Paredes this fall: pic.twitter.com/lBIrs7CNyi— smoothie comps (@smoothie_comps1) October 18, 2022
Paredes on the bench. Doesn't get his maiden start. I thought he might because they might value the Cup less & use this as a trial for league. Twas not to be. 🐺 STARTING 11 🐺 #DFBPOKAL #EBSWOB #VfLWolfsburg 🟢⚪️ pic.twitter.com/6OlHy6ebCm— VfL Wolfsburg EN/US 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 (@VfLWolfsburg_EN) October 18, 2022 1:45 Central on ESPN+
Wimmer and Kaminski, age 21 and 20 respectively, started on the wings. Both arrived at the club this Summer. I assume Paredes is in line for another 15 minute cameo - hope he makes the best of it!

Well earned start. Kevin has looked very solid in his sub minutes and Wolvesburg does nerd a bit of a spark
Out in the 72nd ... and the opposition almost immediately equalizes: VfL Wolfsburg @VfLWolfsburg_EN 72' | Triple Subs! Jonas Wind ⬆️ Omar Marmoush ⬇️ @JossGuilavogui ⬆️ @yannickgerhardt ⬇️ Mattias Svanberg ⬆️ @KParedes_7 ⬇️ ___ 1-2 #B04WOB #VfLWolfsburg
Saw someone on Twitter say he came off with a small injury. Dunno if true. But it was an encouraging start
I tuned in right when he was exiting the game but it looks like it was a planned sub that happened to coincide with a small knock, but I don't think that was the reason he came off.
