Playing Style Analysis

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 closest DNA matches to Hugo Souza:

Vanja Milinković-Savić (80% match) — Milinković-Savić has quietly become one of Serie A's most progressive distributors from behind—a goalkeeper who functions less like a last line of defence and more like an extra midfielder in possession. His passing volume sits in the top 5% of Serie A goalkeepers, and crucially, nearly a fifth of those passes penetrate the final third, a figure that elite pressing teams would covet.
Elia Caprile(80% match) — A Traditional Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (90% success) and reliable in goal (3.2 saves/90).
Zion Suzuki(87% match) — A Commanding Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (100% success), penetrates with forward passing (11.3 final-third passes/90), reliable in goal (3.3 saves/90) and commands the box with authority (0.5 punches/90).
