Playing Style Analysis

Reading DefenderAerial

Filippo Romagna is a Reading Defender. Positionally astute defender who intercepts passing lanes. Statistically, he stands out as commanding in the air (4.2 clearances/90), reads the game exceptionally (1.6 interceptions/90) and wins the physical battle (67% duel success). The three closest DNA matches to Filippo Romagna:

  • Alessandro Bastoni(80% 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.
  • Alessandro Buongiorno(80% match) Buongiorno has quietly become one of Serie A's most complete defensive operators — a centre-back who wins the ball without fanfare and moves it with purpose. His interception numbers place him in the top 10% of defenders in the league, which tells you something important: this isn't a defender who simply reacts, he anticipates.
  • Yann Bisseck(80% match) Bisseck is the rare centre-back who threatens to embarrass your striker and your midfielder in the same passage of play. Playing in Serie A's top tier, the German-Ivorian defender sits in the top 5% for pass accuracy at 92.9% — a number that reflects genuine composure in tight spaces, not just sideways recycling.
