Playing Style Profiles
Maia is the metronomic heartbeat of a Tier C side who somehow manages to combine the volume of a deep-lying playmaker with the physical bite of a dedicated enforcer. Averaging 67.5 passes per 90, he ranks in the top 5% of Serie A midfielders for involvement, yet he isn't just padding stats with lateral safety; his 11.25 passes into the final third suggest a verticality that most defensive anchors lack.
A Creator. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.3 key passes/90), meticulous in distribution (91% pass accuracy), heavily involved in play (69 touches/90), draws fouls effectively (2.0/90) and active off the ball (2.0 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
