Sánchez has carved out a second act in the Super Lig that quietly reframes what he actually is: not a dominant physical stopper, but a composed, progressive ball-mover who happens to wear a centre-back's shirt. Sánchez has carved out a second act in the Super Lig that quietly reframes what he actually is: not a dominant physical stopper, but a composed, progressive ball-mover who happens to wear a centre-back's shirt. His passing volume sits in the top 5% of defenders in the league, and his delivery into the final third ranks top 20%—numbers that belong to a deep-lying playmaker, not a journeyman defender.
