Playing Style Analysis
Iago is the rare Serie A defender who looks more dangerous with the ball at his feet than without it — a passing architect operating from the backline. His 5.13 passes into the final third per 90 places him in the top 20% of league defenders, and his dribbling rate sits in the top 10%, numbers that belong to a midfielder wearing the wrong shirt. The counterintuitive detail: his tackles won rank in the top 20% despite an overall duel win rate languishing in the bottom 10%, suggesting he picks his moments intelligently rather than throwing himself into every contest.
