Playing Style Profiles

Tiago Gabriel

A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as commanding in the air (6.7 clearances/90), meticulous in distribution (87% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (64% duel success) and dominant in the air (3.3 aerials won/90, 61%).

Pierre Kalulu

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.
