  • Diego Moreira(88% match)A Box-to-Box. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, an elite creator (1.7 key passes/90), a reliable supplier (0.21 assists/90), active in the tackle (2.1 tackles/90), creates high-quality scoring opportunities (0.53 big chances/90), heavily involved in play (65 touches/90), active off the ball (2.1 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions and top 20% creator in the league.

The dribble numbers (top 5%) and key pass rate (top 20%) reinforce a profile built around breaking lines and demanding the ball in tight spaces.
