Technical Attributes

Midfield Tactical Intelligence

Elite central midfielder defined by composure under pressure, 360° field vision, and high football IQ. Controls tempo, breaks lines with precise distribution, and dictates the game rhythm — a true playmaker proven in Ecuador's Superliga Femenina First Division with SD Quito and Ecuador U17 National Team Pool

TEMPO CONTROL & DICTATION

PRESS RESISTANCE

TACTICAL FIELD AWARENESS

Dictates rhythm. Controls when to accelerate, when to kill the game. Astute decision-making, low turnover rate, elite ball retention in tight spaces.

Press-resistant. Maintains possession and advances play under high-pressure 2v1 situations. Clean first touch, body orientation, escapes pressure with progressive carry or line-breaking pass.

High soccer IQ. Proactive scanner — identifies passing lanes and defensive gaps 2 seconds before they open. Creates overloads, finds the 3rd-man run, filters final balls.
