Playing Style Profiles
Dodô occupies a fascinating middle ground that Serie A rarely produces: a defender who creates more than he destroys, and does it at an elite level. His 1.55 key passes per 90 ranks in the league's top 10% among defenders—a number that belongs to a playmaker, not a backline operator.
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.
