Wilder Cartagena: The Midfield Shield
He gives Orlando a harder spine because he enjoys the physical side of the game.
Opponents do not get easy touches in central areas, and that disrupts build-up before it becomes dangerous. The best part is the timing, arriving to win the duel without diving into needless fouls. When Orlando need to protect a lead, his presence helps the whole team stay compact and disciplined. Those gritty minutes suit him.
