Playing Style Profiles
A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (1.9 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (87% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (58% duel success) and active off the ball (2.1 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
Buongiorno has quietly become one of Serie A's most complete defensive operators — a centre-back who wins the ball without fanfare and moves it with purpose. His interception numbers place him in the top 10% of defenders in the league, which tells you something important: this isn't a defender who simply reacts, he anticipates.
