Diego Lainez Biography

Diego Lainez is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on June 9, 2000 in Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico. Diego Lainez Leyva (born 9 June 2000) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a winger for Spanish club Real Betis.

Described as “a diminutive, left-footed forward with a sharp burst of pace”, Lainez has been praised as one of the best young players in the world, being featured in The Guardian’s 2017 list of the 60 best young talents in world football, as well as Goal.com’s 2017, 2018, and 2019 NxGn lists of the world’s best teenage players.

Three days later, he made his league debut against León, becoming one of the club’s youngest players to debut for the first team at 16 years old. On 19 March, after a lineup error that ruled out Gerson Torres from being eligible to play, Lainez was assigned to start against Club Universidad Nacional.

Lainez has shown maturity in his playing style despite his young age. He has been described as “creative and methodical in terms of orchestrating attacks. Despite being a teenager, Lainez has a very mature reading of the game which often fuels his sharp decision-making on the field.” Lainez appears equally adept at passing and crossing as well as not shirking away from his defensive duties. Thomas Harrison of Outsideoftheboot.com described him as “a winger who can also operate as a ‘number ten’, [he] is renowned for his outstanding balance, trickery and change of pace when running with the ball, and the stats back up this belief. Diego ended the 2017–18 with a dribble success rate of above 65%, one of the highest figures for an attacking player in Liga MX.” Lainez has cited Lionel Messi as an idol and an influence on his playing style.
