One of the brightest stars in Ecuador: Moisés Caicedo. The 18-year-old has the potential to become one of the best box-to-box midfielders in the world, in my opinion. The technical ability and eye for a goal of a number 10, the tackling ability of a 6, and the engine of an 8.

So easy to tell which deals/agents he’s involved with. There’s no other logical reason as to why arguably the most viewed football journalist in the world would be frequently tweeting about a 15y/o Ecuadorian. It’s a shame, as it doesn’t help the player at all.

This isn’t to say Sampaoli will be unable to get a tune out of this Fla side. He certainly could. But, the full potential of this team won’t be unlocked by restricting movement & interactions. Éverton Ribeiro, Arrascaeta, Gabi, etc., are at their best when playing with freedom.
