Playing Style Analysis

A Balanced Midfielder. Statistically, he stands out as a prolific assist provider (0.27 assists/90), active in the tackle (2.2 tackles/90) and active off the ball (2.1 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. Note: this profile is based on 666 minutes of playing time this season. The three most similar players to Alessandro Deiola by playing style are:

• Jesper Karlström(84% match) — A Box-to-Box. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (1.9 tackles/90), wins the physical battle (58% duel success), heavily involved in play (50 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.2 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
• Tommaso Pobega(84% match) — Pobega is the midfielder who wins the ball before the danger exists—a defensive instinct so sharp his interception rate lands in Serie A's top 10%, a figure that quietly separates him from most midfielders who simply react. His aerial dominance (top 20%) and tackle success (top 20%) confirm a player built for the physical confrontations modern pressing football demands. The counterintuitive read here: his modest 0.17 goals per 90 actually places him in the top 30% of Serie A midfielders, meaning he contributes more in front of goal than his limited minutes suggest.
• Danilo Cataldi(84% match) — A Ball-Winner. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.1 key passes/90), wins the physical battle (60% duel success), heavily involved in play (62 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.4 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
