Playing Style Analysis

Ball-Winner

A Ball-Winner. Statistically, he stands out as meticulous in distribution (87% pass accuracy) and active off the ball (2.2 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. The three closest DNA matches to Gabriel:

Ardon Jashari(80% match) — A Metronome. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90), active in the tackle (1.8 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (91% pass accuracy), central to possession (71 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.6 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
Teun Koopmeiners(80% match) — Koopmeiners is the rare midfielder who makes a team's build-up feel inevitable rather than effortful—a conductor who turns possession into progression with surgical consistency. His 91.1% pass accuracy places him in the top 10% of Serie A midfielders, but the more telling number is his 8.79 passes into the final third per 90, also top 10%—this isn't a recycler, it's a penetrator.
Youssouf Fofana(80% match) — A Ball-Winner. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.5 key passes/90).
