Playing Style Profiles
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.
Ndicka has quietly become one of Serie A's most complete left-sided centre-backs — a defender who wins headers, reads danger early, and still finds time to score goals that matter. His 91.1% pass accuracy places him in the top fifth of defenders in the league, yet he's no mere recycler; his pressing intensity ranking tells the real story of a man who hunts possession rather than waits for it.
