Playing Style Profiles
Alonso is the quintessential "conductor in a cul-de-sac," a high-volume ball-progressor operating within a Tier C setup that frequently relies on his left foot to bridge the gap to the final third. His 89.1% pass accuracy and 53.8 passes per 90 place him comfortably in the top 30% of Serie A defenders, suggesting a player who demands the ball and possesses the technical security to keep it.
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.
