Kily provides any opponent with a tough challenge as the hard-working midfielder mixes outstanding ability with a volatile temperament. He arrives in the Far East hot on the heels of winning the Championship title in Spain with Valencia where he competed for the left midfield berth with Spanish international Rodriguez Vicente. In Japan and South Korea, he will be aiming to fill the wide role ahead of former Valencia star, Claudio Lopez. He started his career with Rosario Central before moving to Boca Juniors in 1995. He made his move to Spain with Real Zaragoza a year later before beginning his successful spell with Valencia in 1999. Kily's competitive nature means he wasn't slow in coming forward to show his anticipation of Argentina's World Cup meeting with England.
