My Take
Gustavo Cuéllar is the unglamorous engine I tend to root for. Born in Barranquilla, that sweltering, football-mad stretch of Colombia's coast, he became a defensive midfielder whose value lives in the work nobody applauds: breaking up play, screening the back line, recycling possession. He earned his place with the Colombia national team on graft, not highlight reels. Anchors like him don't trend on social media, but every coherent team is built on one. I have a soft spot for the holding role precisely because it's thankless, and Cuéllar plays it with the steady discipline that quietly wins matches.
