Playing Style Analysis

A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as an aggressive ball-winner (2.5 tackles/90), commanding in the air (4.6 clearances/90), reads the game exceptionally (1.5 interceptions/90), wins the physical battle (56% duel success), central to possession (71 touches/90), uses long balls frequently (6.3/90) and active off the ball (2.4 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. The three most similar players to Arnau Martínez by playing style are:

• Joan Martínez(93% match) — A Defender. Statistically, he stands out as wins the physical battle (67% duel success). Note: this profile is based on 480 minutes of playing time this season.
• Jon Martín(91% match) — Martín has built his game around a quiet, almost ruthless efficiency — a defender who wins his battles in the air and on the ground before most opponents even realise they've lost them. His aerial win rate and duel success both sit in the top 10% of La Liga defenders, which in one of Europe's most physically demanding leagues is no small claim. The counterintuitive read here is his tackles won figure, which looks underwhelming below average — but paired with 1.53 interceptions per 90 in the top 20%, it signals a reader of the game who cuts problems off early rather than firefighting late.
• Gerard Martín(91% match) — A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, active in the tackle (2.1 tackles/90), commanding in the air (4.8 clearances/90), meticulous in distribution (91% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (74% duel success), heavily involved in possession (85 passes/90), penetrates with forward passing (9.2 final-third passes/90) and central to possession (100 touches/90).
