A versatile midfielder who is able to play in different positions, but mainly in the centre, he is well known for his fierce shot, passing skills and hardworking style, being affectionately known as El Comandante (the commander) due to his leadership skills.That is a sweet nickname, no? My wife bought me a FC Porto shirt when she was over there, and when I wore it to work my Portugese friend in lab went crazy. He loved it. We started talking about the team, and I mentioned that Lucho was my favorite player for Porto. On my XBox, he is big, pretty fast, a good dribbler, and can defend really well. Nice shot too, but his passing is my favorite part of his game. I really like to play him either on the right wing or in a central playmaker role (in addition to being a tremendous leader, he's right-footed). When Lucho is on the field, all of the other XBox soccer players really look up to him.
Lucho no longer plays for Porto, he was sold to Marseille for €18 million, which seems like a steal to me. He's great. I hope that someday soon, I can play a little more like El Commandante!
