My Take
Orbelín Pineda is the sort of player I instinctively root for: a 168 cm midfielder from rural Guerrero who has carried his craft all the way from Mexico to AEK Athens in Europe. Small, technical creators who win matches with their feet rather than their frame always win my attention. There is something stirring about a player from a small town earning Mexico caps and testing himself abroad. Born in 1996, he is in his prime years now, and I suspect his best storytelling moments are still ahead. I will be keeping an eye on where his journey takes him.
