• Alberto Dossena(98% match) — A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as commanding in the air (4.4 clearances/90), meticulous in distribution (89% pass accuracy) and wins the physical battle (61% duel success).
• Diego Coppola(99% match) — A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as a reliable supplier (0.15 assists/90), commanding in the air (8.2 clearances/90), meticulous in distribution (86% pass accuracy) and uses long balls frequently (6.9/90).
• Alessandro Bastoni(76% 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.
