Claudio Borghi

Claudio Borghi, affectionately known as Bichi, is the kind of footballer I find quietly fascinating. An attacking midfielder from the outskirts of Buenos Aires, he did not stay put: he played across Argentina, Chile, Italy, Switzerland, Brazil and Mexico, then coached as far afield as Ecuador. That restless itinerary tells me he had both the adaptability to thrive anywhere and an open, inventive football mind. At 181 cm he likely shaped play rather than just chased it. I have a soft spot for these border-crossing journeymen of the game, careers stitched together across continents, carrying ideas wherever they land.
