Playing Style Analysis

Creator

A Creator. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.4 key passes/90), a constant goal threat (2.6 shots/90), a proven goalscorer (0.45 goals/90), heavily involved in play (59 touches/90) and switches play with precision (5.2 long balls/90, 64% accuracy). The three closest DNA matches to Diego Rosa:

Jens Odgaard(85% match) — A Creator. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a regular goalscorer (0.33 goals/90) and active off the ball (2.1 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
Michael Folorunsho(85% match) — A Balanced Midfielder. Statistically, he stands out as draws fouls effectively (2.2/90).
Lorenzo Pellegrini(85% match) — Pellegrini remains one of Serie A's most frustrating paradoxes: a midfielder who consistently breaks into the top 20% for both key passes and shots per 90, yet somehow still divides opinion at the highest level. His 1.71 key passes and 0.21 goals per 90 aren't volume illusions—they reflect a genuine capacity to hurt teams in ways most central midfielders simply can't.
