Reliable Keeper
A Reliable Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (100% success) and keeps goals out effectively (0.66 conceded/90). The three most similar players to Hugo Souza by playing style are:
- Zion Suzuki(87% match) — A Commanding Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (100% success), penetrates with forward passing (15.0 final-third passes/90), reliable in goal (3.7 saves/90) and commands the box with authority (0.8 punches/90). However, he concedes frequently (1.67/90).
- Michele Di Gregorio(86% match) — Di Gregorio has quietly built a reputation as one of Serie A's more composed shot-stoppers without ever demanding the spotlight—a goalkeeper whose value lives in the margins rather than the headlines. His 75.9% pass accuracy places him in the top 30% of league keepers, respectable for a B-tier club where the ball often moves under pressure. The duel win rate of 100% sounds elite until you notice he's barely being tested aerially—just 0.09 aerial duels per 90—suggesting opponents have learned not to challenge him that way, or simply that his positioning eliminates the contest before it begins.
- Emil Audero(85% match) — A Sweeper-Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (100% success) and reliable in goal (3.5 saves/90).
