A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as meticulous in distribution (86% pass accuracy), strong in aerial duels (3.2 aerials won/90) and switches play with precision (7.8 long balls/90, 60% accuracy). The three closest DNA matches to J. Millán:

• Guillermo Maripán(86% match) — A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (2.1 tackles/90), commanding in the air (6.3 clearances/90) and meticulous in distribution (85% pass accuracy).
• Alessandro Bastoni(80% match) — Bastoni has quietly become the most dangerous defender in Serie A that no one talks about in those terms—a left-sided centre-back who functions, in practice, as a deep-lying playmaker wearing the wrong shirt number. His passing volume sits in the top 5% of defenders in the league, and his passes into the final third rank similarly elite, meaning Inter's attacking phases are frequently being *authored* from the back.
• Alessandro Buongiorno(80% match) — Buongiorno has quietly become one of Serie A's most complete defensive operators — a centre-back who wins the ball without fanfare and moves it with purpose. His interception numbers place him in the top 10% of defenders in the league, which tells you something important: this isn't a defender who simply reacts, he anticipates.
