Active Full-Back
A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as a reliable supplier (0.22 assists/90), active in the tackle (2.1 tackles/90), uses long balls frequently (5.3/90) and active off the ball (2.5 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. The three most similar players to Ivo Pinto by playing style are:
- Mees de Wit(85% match) — A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a capable chance creator (1.1 key passes/90), a reliable supplier (0.22 assists/90), active in the tackle (2.3 tackles/90), uses long balls frequently (5.5/90) and active off the ball (2.2 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
- Jozhua Vertrouwd(82% match) — A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (1.8 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (91% pass accuracy), heavily involved in possession (63 passes/90), central to possession (75 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.0 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. Note: this profile is based on 498 minutes of playing time this season.
- Bram Nuytinck(81% match) — Nuytinck is the quintessential Eredivisie "old head" whose value lies in the safety of his distribution rather than the dynamism of his defending. While he lacks the mobility of modern elite center-backs, his 89.7% pass accuracy puts him in the top 30% of the league, marking him as a reliable metronome for a Tier C side looking to build from the back without risk. Counterintuitively, despite his reputation as a physical presence, his 52.6% duel win rate is merely average, suggesting he relies more on positioning than raw power to survive.
