My Take

Darío Conca is one of those footballers whose reputation feels bigger than his fame outside South America. Being voted the best player of Brazil's Série A two years running, in 2009 and 2010, is a serious honour for an Argentine attacking midfielder operating in a league that prizes flair. At 167cm he was a small, low-centred playmaker, the kind I picture threading passes others couldn't see. He later became famous for a huge-money move to China, an early sign of where the sport's economics were heading. To me he's a craftsman's number ten, more appreciated by those who watched him closely than by the headlines.
