Antonio Valencia
There are times when Antonio Valencia flatters to deceive, but more often than not his pace down the right flank proves a telling factor for Manchester United and Ecuador.
The 28-year old showed his potential when he scored two goals on his international debut in a 5-2 win over Paraguay in 2006 World Cup qualifying, although he has since netted only eight times in 68 appearances.
His darting runs impressed in Ecuador's World Cup run to the last 16 in 2006 and Valencia captained his country to a fourth-placed finish in the South American qualifying campaign for the tournament in Brazil.
That secured an automatic berth for the Ecuadoreans who will rely on the versatile winger to direct their quest to reach the last 16 from a Group E.
Shy and quiet off the pitch, Valencia is reliable, combative and selfless on it, and Ecuador will need all those traits from their skipper if they are to progress to the knockout stages.
