Playing Style Profiles

Josip Sutalo

A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as commanding in the air (5.1 clearances/90), reads the game exceptionally (1.9 interceptions/90), meticulous in distribution (91% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (65% duel success), heavily involved in possession (72 passes/90), central to possession (86 touches/90), uses long balls frequently (5.6/90) and active off the ball (2.6 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.

Ko Itakura

Itakura is the kind of defender who wins games in the margins — not with last-ditch tackles, but with the quiet authority of a man who rarely puts the ball in the wrong place. His 93.3% pass accuracy sits in the top 5% of Eredivisie defenders, which tells you this isn't a player just lumping it clear; he's building from the back with genuine precision.
