Analysis overview
Castillo operates across the midfield's full width with an eye for the final action. He combines typical box-to-box range with an uncommon sharpness around the penalty area, arriving late into dangerous spaces and finishing cleanly when chances fall. His threat comes as much from positioning and composure as from pure athleticism.
