My Take

Jorge Enríquez is the kind of footballer the box score never fully captures, and that's exactly why I rate him. A defensive midfielder from Mexicali, he did the unglamorous work of shielding the back line and recycling possession, the sort of contribution that only teammates and tacticians truly appreciate. But the headline detail is undeniable: an Olympic gold medalist. To anchor a championship side from the sport's least flashy position takes discipline and selflessness. I have a soft spot for these connective players who let others shine while quietly holding everything together, and Enríquez clearly mastered that role.
