Edwin Tenorio will celebrate his 30th birthday during the World Cup but it will be he who hopes to supply the presents to his strikers.

Now at the peak of his game, Tenorio is widely considered Ecuador's main man in midfield.

Although he scored no goals in the 14 qualifying games he played in, his passing qualities are almost unrivalled while he's also an important motivator within the side.

Tenorio's speed has never been a strong point but what he lacks in that department he makes up with quick thinking and clever movement.

Nickname 'Monito', he is sure to be instrumental in any success Ecuador will have this summer.
