Analysis overview
M. Caicedo reads danger early, steps in cleanly, then turns defence into progression. As a deep midfielder, he stays connected to the play, protects the back line, and uses his exceptional retention to keep Ecuador breathing under pressure. Once he wins it, he can stride through midfield rather than simply recycle possession.
