Rodrigo Bentancur Colman is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and the Uruguay national team.
A dynamic, hard-working, tenacious, and tactically versatile midfielder, who is comfortable using either foot, Bentancur has been described as a tall and "physically strong" player, who is capable of playing in any midfield position, including as a defensive midfielder, as a central midfielder, as a winger on either flank, in a box-to-box role, or even as an attacking midfielder behind the forwards, due to his ability to make attacking runs from behind. He also possesses good vision, intelligence, personality, and technique, which enable him to set the tempo of his team's play deep in midfield and create goalscoring opportunities for his teammates after winning back the ball.
In May 2018 he was named in Uruguay’s provisional 26 man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. |
