Playing Style Analysis
Lima is the rarest of anomalies: a defender in Turkey's first division who functions, statistically, like a creative midfielder wearing the wrong shirt number. His 2.24 key passes and 14.16 passes into the final third per 90 both rank in the league's top 5% among defenders—numbers that belong to a playmaker, not a backline operator. The counterintuitive read here is that his 73.3% pass accuracy, technically below average, actually reflects ambition rather than sloppiness; defenders attempting this volume and variety of progressive distribution will naturally sacrifice completion rate.
