Note: this profile is based on 721 minutes of playing time this season. The three closest DNA matches to Stefan Posch:

• Stefan de Vrij(85% match) — A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as commanding in the air (4.5 clearances/90), meticulous in distribution (93% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (62% duel success), heavily involved in possession (73 passes/90), central to possession (85 touches/90) and dominant in the air (3.4 aerials won/90, 61%).
• Alessandro Bastoni(80% 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.
• Alessandro Buongiorno(80% match) — Buongiorno has quietly become one of Serie A's most complete defensive operators — a centre-back who wins the ball without fanfare and moves it with purpose. His interception numbers place him in the top 10% of defenders in the league, which tells you something important: this isn't a defender who simply reacts, he anticipates.
