Playing style
A highly technical player, Echigo was renowned for his feints and dribbling skills.[1][2] He is responsible for inventing the dribbling move known as 'Elastico', or 'flip-flap', a move which Brazilian legend Rivelino acquired from him and perfected while they were teammates at Corinthians in 1964.[3]
