Playing Style Profiles
Lemos is a ball-dominant defensive sentinel whose elite spatial awareness allows him to dismantle opposition attacks before they materialize. While operating in a Tier C side, he manages to dictate tempo with 55.3 passes per 90—placing him in the league’s top 20% for volume—yet it is his defensive anticipation that defines his profile.
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.
