Info:

Fernández, during his ten seasons with Universitario, played 176 matches, winning two national titles (1934 and 1939). His last match in a cream-colored jersey was on Sunday, May 12, 1940, in a goalless draw against Alianza Lima in the Lima Amateur Tournament.

With the Peruvian national team, the brave defender played 18 matches and was part of the team that won the Bolivarian Games in Colombia in 1938 and the South American Championship in Peru in 1939. He also competed in the World Cup held in Uruguay in 1930, the South American Championship in Peru in 1935, the Berlin Olympics in 1936, and the South American Championship in Argentina in 1937.

After playing for Colo Colo in Chile for a season, Fernández retired from football in 1941 and began his career as coach of Universitario from that year until 1951 and, subsequently, from 1954 until March 1958. As coach, the brother of our greatest idol, "Lolo" Fernández, won the championship in 1941, 1945, 1946, and 1949.

Spoiler: show
- After his first professional experience in Ciclista Lima Association F.B.C between 1926 and 1929, the popular "Manco" arrived at Universitario after some students and people linked to the club made him a proposal to be part of the cream team. This is how he debuted with the Universitario shirt on Sunday, January 19, 1930 in an international friendly match in which the "U" tied 0-0 against Atlético Tucumán of Argentina. That day, the cream fan saw the birth of a leader and reference central defender with quick removal and excellent positioning, who also showed himself to be strong and brave in every play, being one of the promoters of the "cream claw."

- He was the captain and historical reference of the 'U' defensive block in its first years of existence, in addition to being the eldest heir of the Fernández Meyzán dynasty in the cream team, which later brought his brothers 'Lolo' and 'Lolín' to fame. Arturo, also nicknamed 'Manco' for not having a finger on one of his upper extremities, formed a true defensive wall with Víctor Guarderas Lavalle at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, which they called 'Pareja' Tempestad. Likewise, the eldest Fernández was champion with Universitario in 1939 and, as a cream coach, he turned around in 1941, 1945, 1946 and 1949.

Hi, I'd like to ask an experienced team builder: When referring to a defense with a quick exit, should he emphasize speed and acceleration more, or his reactivity?

What does the original text say in Spanish? Maybe that could help.

Ese día, la hinchada crema vio nacer a un líder y defensor central de referencia, con rápida salida y excelente posicionamiento, que además demostró ser fuerte y valiente en cada jugada, siendo uno de los impulsores de la "garra crema".

It's hard to say. I have two interpretations of the text:

Either he refers to "quick exit" as "quick exit with the ball." This would slightly influence his DS and, to an even lesser extent, his ACC, but considering the average level of defenders of his era and the low level of his league, I wouldn't go with very high values.

If it isn't that, it would be "quick team exit," and it would influence his SPA and TW equally. Likewise, in both cases, the player should see more RES.
