He is physically robust and likes to break the opponent’s play in midfield. He is an expert in winning ball possession and straightaway likes to pass it to his teammates in open space. His decision-making helps his team to keep the balance in attack and defense. The South American is an expert in winning fouls and sometimes he does dive smartly to get fouls.
