Playing Style Profiles
Bastoni has quietly become the most dangerous defender in Serie A that no one talks about in those terms—a left-sided centre-back who functions, in practice, as a deep-lying playmaker wearing the wrong shirt number. His passing volume sits in the top 5% of defenders in the league, and his passes into the final third rank similarly elite, meaning Inter's attacking phases are frequently being *authored* from the back.
Kalulu has quietly become one of Serie A's most progressive defenders — a ball-carrier in disguise wearing a centre-back's number. His 60.8 passes per 90 and 6.23 passes into the final third both land in the top 20-30% of defenders in the league, figures that reveal a player comfortable initiating attacks rather than simply recycling possession.
