Playing Style Analysis

Active Full-BackBall-PlayingSmall Sample

Rafinha occupies a curious corner of Serie A's defensive landscape—a ball-playing defender whose feet do far more talking than his physicality ever will. His passing volume sits in the top 5% of defenders in the league, and at 87.1% accuracy, he isn't just circulating possession blindly; he's doing it with purpose. The counterintuitive read here is that his 0.51 key passes per 90 quietly outperforms most defenders in the division—this isn't a man content to recycle sideways.
