His pass accuracy of 86.1% and a passes-per-90 ranking inside the top 20% of Liga Portugal defenders tell you he's comfortable under pressure and willing to circulate possession with purpose. His 4.96 passes into the final third per 90 is genuinely above average—a figure that suggests progressive intent most defenders at this level don't bother with.
