Riquelme operates best in the hole directly behind the striker(s) with a large amount of creative freedom. While not possessing the strongest physical attributes, Riquelme more than adequately makes up for that shortcoming with his playmaking ability and his skill from set pieces.

Pairing him with one or more supporting and hard working defensive midfielders typically works wonders as it frees Riquelme to do what he does best without the need for tracking back.
