Playing Style and Strengths

Mosquera is a fairly young and evolving centre back who blends the vintage style man-marking with modern positional-based defending. He is quick, anticipates well, and is effective in one-on-one situations. He knows when to charge and when to follow. Even though he has a good physical build for a defender, Mosquera tends to be less aggressive with his marking and more subdued in terms of foot placement. He is good with the ball, has a high completion rate and can pass and dribble forward. Notably, he can execute long passes effectively, allowing him to switch the play to the wingers early in attack. His ability to regain possession and immediately distribute the ball is a key aspect of how he neutralises opposition attacks and transitions defence into offence.
Looking at Cristhian Mosquera playing style and strengths, he would do well in formations with a solid core that sets him up to engage in deep defensive depth and facilitates mature play-making. In dealing with attackers, Mosquera uses his sharp reactions and quick anticipation of the ball to handle attacking threats. He selectively clears the ball and counters at an incredible speed. He is very precise in the way that he protects his goal and does not aggressively dive into tackles seeking to dispossess and to win the ball, which is a 50/50, may lead to a foul. The way he can stop opponents and start counterattacks is simply worth appreciating.
