Hincapie’s clash with Alvarez could be key and the Ecuador international told AS: “He’s an incredible player.
“He has so many qualities, he moves all over the pitch, he’s a very physical player as well as very technical. I think he’s very intelligent on the field, he seems like a fantastic player.”
Hincapie added, “We have a plan, and we always want to press high up the pitch and win the ball back in the opposition’s half.
“But obviously, we know the qualities many teams possess and it’s very difficult to maintain that for 90 or 120 minutes.”
