Playing Style Profiles

Néstor Araújo

Araújo is a classic defensive contradiction: a ground-level titan who dominates 1-on-1 physical battles while remaining curiously passive in the collective defensive phase. His 72.7% duel win rate puts him in the league’s top 5%, marking him as an elite stopper once engaged, yet his bottom-decile press intensity suggests a player who prefers to drop and react rather than hunt.

Tomás Araújo

A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (1.8 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (89% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (58% duel success), heavily involved in possession (62 passes/90), penetrates with forward passing (9.6 final-third passes/90), central to possession (74 touches/90), switches play with precision (6.8 long balls/90, 62% accuracy) and active off the ball (2.2 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
