Andres is naturally blessed with making football look easy. He seems to have an inbuilt GPS that allows him to always be in the right place at the right time, whether to collect the ball from the defence and generate play, support attacks higher up the field or an intricate one-two in the middle of the park.

He is efficient with his movements and reads the game like an experienced pro, yet when a change of pace is required he certainly has another gear.

His upper body strength allows him to protect the ball from the strongest opponents and always initiates the play cleanly.

When in front of goal his finishes are tidy and always chooses the best option for a pass.

Without the tricks and flicks typical of South American players, Andres can sometimes be overlooked, but the experienced eye always singles him out as the cog that makes the whole system work (just ask his teammates).

Andres goes about his business with the minimum of fuss and consistently performs at a high level and despite doing the work that sometimes goes unseen he is the type of player that brings out the best in a team.

Andres often gets compared to Fernandinho of Manchester City.
