Playing Style Profiles
Lima is the rarest of anomalies: a defender in Turkey's first division who functions, statistically, like a creative midfielder wearing the wrong shirt number. His 2.24 key passes and 14.16 passes into the final third per 90 both rank in the league's top 5% among defenders—numbers that belong to a playmaker, not a backline operator.
A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, an elite creator (1.5 key passes/90), active in the tackle (1.9 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (89% pass accuracy) and active off the ball (2.4 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
