Esteban Cambiasso tactical versatility

ESTEBAN CAMBIASSO lays out exactly how his career unfolded, starting with a mindset that always put the team first. He never picked his spot; he only played where the coach told him to go. That habit stuck even back in the youth ranks, filling gaps wherever they opened up. The way people see him shifted depending on which country you asked. In Argentina, the idea is that he's an attacking midfielder. Over in Italy, though, the classification lands him among the most tactical players in the championship. He jokes about what he hasn't done yet, saying he still hasn't played as a goalkeeper or a nine. But then he admits that in some matches, when his team was losing, he ended up playing as a nine anyway. It turns out he lives many plays as a nine even if he doesn't officially hold that position. Most of his goals are ugly nine's goals, just pushing it under the goal. Looking at the middle of the pitch, he occupied all four positions of the diamond. He was a central defender with a back four and also with a back three. He was a wing-back on both sides too.
