This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Nelson Bernal” as paraguayan goalkeeper coach. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as paraguayan goalkeeper coach. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 26, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q105627074. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1972, 2016, 2021 and 2004.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
