Bryan Ruiz was a Costa Rican attacking midfielder with refined technique, vision and great elegance on the pitch, who stood out both for European clubs and for the Costa Rican national team. His peak came at FC Twente, where he was the absolute protagonist in the historic conquest of the Eredivisie in the 2009–10 season, acting as the main offensive articulator, with smooth dribbling, precise passing, decisive goals and assists. His performance took him to Fulham in the Premier League, where he alternated between good moments and inconsistent periods, but always demonstrated tactical intelligence and skill in creating plays.
After England, he played for clubs such as PSV Eindhoven and Sporting, in Portugal, where he maintained his reputation as a cerebral, technical and creative player, even though he did not achieve the same prominence as he did at Twente. For the Costa Rican national team, he was an undisputed idol, captain and technical reference, especially during the 2014 World Cup, when he led the historic campaign to the quarter-finals.
With an elegant style and a calm demeanor, Bryan Ruiz made his mark as one of the greatest names in Central American football, building a career marked by talent and class, being admired for his intelligence on the field and the leadership role he played in the Costa Rican national team.
