Return to Tacuary
Upon returning to Tacuary from Europe in 2010, began what he described as "hell" when he barely played in the matches and then raptured ligaments which left him out of the field for more than six months.[17] His first appearance in the 2010 Paraguayan Primera División season came in a 2–0 home victory against 3 de Febrero on August 1. He had played a full-90 minutes of the match and scored Tacuary's second goal in the 55th minute.[18]
He underwent the operation and the recuperation process but his obsession in return to football accelerated his recovery. He then met persons who said that they were in charge of taking Paez to the most important clubs of the continent.[17] Player agents from Argentina, they had promised Paez that they would take him everywhere. Paez had a dispute with Francisco Ocampos, the boss of Tacuary and player agent of Tacuary players, and began a lawsuit.[17] He traveled to Argentina and Uruguay to intent to unite himself with clubs, but never came out of the hotels. The agents informed him that everything was organized but nothing would happen.[17] Paez would train in places around the hotel and go running. He did not know anyone in those countries.[17] Paez thought about stop playing football, the agents would give him a monthly remittance but he wanted to play and did not importance the money.[17] Paez regressed to Tacuary and spoke with Francisco Ocampo who had the lawsuit, he gave his apologies and admitted that the mistake was for ignorance and for being young.[17]
He then stated a message for the youngsters after almost giving up play football and say to them not think too much in the money because money is not everything.[17] "Anyone can say I will pay you two million dollars, don't fall for that. Not everything that shines is gold".[17]
