Matías Vecino

Matías Vecino is the sort of midfielder casual fans underrate and coaches quietly treasure. The Uruguayan, all 189 centimeters of him, has spent his career doing the unglamorous central and defensive work that holds a team together, from Italy through to Celta Vigo in La Liga. I have a soft spot for these box-to-box engines, the players who win second balls and break up attacks while the wingers get the headlines. Uruguay has a long tradition of producing exactly this kind of tough, intelligent professional, and Vecino fits the mold. To me he's a footballer's footballer, the dependable cog that lets the flashier names shine.
