Sergio Herrera

A brick wall in midfield, he neutralizes attacks with brutal strength and perfectly timed slides, though he famously struggles to keep his own rhythm when passing forward. To find his focus, he insists on loudly reciting Ecuadorian folk recipes in the tunnel, a habit that leaves his confused teammates awkwardly nodding along before kick-off. Despite his reserved nature, he transforms into an absolute engine of destruction once the whistle blows.
