His style of play led the Paraguayan media to call him the "Sir of the Midfield". Paredes played defensive midfield, though he could also play as centre-forward, being a lethal header. He also had exceptional leadership capabilities on the field, where he was constantly marshalling instructions to the rest of the team.
His first major competition as a coach was the 2016 Toulon Tournament with the Paraguay national under-23 football team.
