My Take
Espinosa is the kind of player I quietly respect more than the flashy attackers. A 192cm Colombian center-back is the type who organizes a backline, wins the ugly duels, and never makes headlines until something goes wrong. What I find genuinely compelling is his second act: stepping into a general manager role at Marbella. That move tells me he was always thinking about the structure of the game, not just his own minutes. Defenders who understand systems often make the smartest executives. I'd bet his read on building a squad is sharper than most ex-strikers.
