Playing Style Analysis

Andrade is the high-volume distribution hub masquerading as a Tier C Bundesliga center-back, a player whose heavy involvement in build-up suggests a profile far more elite than his current surroundings. Averaging 57.1 passes per 90, he sits in the top 5% of the league for volume, yet he isn't merely stat-padding; his 0.76 key passes per 90 place him in the top 30% of defenders, proving he possesses the vision to break lines. Counterintuitively, while his 60% duel win rate suggests a physical powerhouse, his low press intensity (below league average) reveals a defender who prefers to drop and read the game rather than engage in high-octane harassment.
