Playing Style Analysis

A Box-to-Box. Statistically, he stands out as an aggressive ball-winner (2.6 tackles/90), heavily involved in play (52 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.9 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. The three most similar players to Alexsandro Amorim de Freitas Filho by playing style are:

• Afonso Assis Cunha Almeida(87% match) — A Box-to-Box. Statistically, he stands out as reads the game exceptionally (1.7 interceptions/90), heavily involved in play (66 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.9 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. Note: this profile is based on 704 minutes of playing time this season.
• Morten Hjulmand(86% match) — Hjulmand is the kind of midfielder who wins football matches without ever appearing on a highlight reel—a defensive engine wrapped inside a genuine ball-progressor. Operating in Liga Portugal, he ranks in the top 5% for both duel win rate and press intensity, which tells you something important: this isn't selective aggression, it's sustained, systemic dominance across ninety minutes. His 89% pass accuracy and 8.11 progressive passes per ninety further expose the counterintuitive truth—the man built like a destroyer actually drives play forward more consistently than most creative midfielders in the division.
• Leandro Barreiro(86% match) — Barreiro is the rare midfielder who wins headers like a centre-back but still finds pockets to create like a number ten. His aerial win rate sits in the top 5% of Liga Portugal midfielders—a genuinely freakish number for someone operating in central midfield rather than set-piece territory—and it quietly underpins his value in transition, winning second balls that never show up in highlight reels. His 0.22 assists per 90 and near-1 key pass per 90 suggest a player with real creative intent, not just a recycler.
