Playing Style Analysis

A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a capable chance creator (1.3 key passes/90), a regular goalscorer (0.29 goals/90), active in the tackle (2.2 tackles/90) and wins the physical battle (59% duel success). Note: this profile is based on 624 minutes of playing time this season. The three most similar players to Davide Bartesaghi by playing style are:

• Sascha Britschgi(88% match) — A Active Full-Back.
• Nadir Zortea(88% match) — Zortea is the rare Serie A defender who creates more danger than most attacking midfielders—his 1.38 key passes per 90 ranks in the top 10% of the entire league among defenders, a figure that demands a double-take. His progressive passing and top-20% aerial win rate paint a picture of a physically assertive, attack-minded fullback who genuinely influences the final third, not just the buildup. Here's the counterintuitive part: his duel win rate sits in the bottom 10% of the league, yet his interceptions and tackles won both land above average—suggesting he reads the game well enough to avoid losing battles by not entering them.
• Alessandro Bastoni(86% match) — Bastoni has quietly become the most dangerous defender in Serie A that no one talks about in those terms—a left-sided centre-back who functions, in practice, as a deep-lying playmaker wearing the wrong shirt number. His passing volume sits in the top 5% of defenders in the league, and his passes into the final third rank similarly elite, meaning Inter's attacking phases are frequently being *authored* from the back. The counterintuitive truth buried in his aerial win rate—merely average—is that Bastoni rarely needs to be tested aerially; his positioning is clean enough to make the contest irrelevant.
