My Take
What grabs me about Chicho Serna is the grit hiding behind a modest stat line. A 168 cm midfielder from Medellin who earned a spot at Boca Juniors and then kept moving across Mexico and Argentina is not someone coasting on talent; that is a guy who out-worked rooms full of bigger names. Fifty-one caps for Colombia tells me coaches trusted him when it counted. I have a soft spot for these unglamorous connectors, the players who make a team breathe rather than score the highlight goal. Serna strikes me as exactly that kind of quietly indispensable professional.
