Percentile rank among Serie A midfielders (n=248) · Per 90 min · RT Intelligence™
Maia is the metronomic heartbeat of a Tier C side who somehow manages to combine the volume of a deep-lying playmaker with the physical bite of a dedicated enforcer. Maia is the metronomic heartbeat of a Tier C side who somehow manages to combine the volume of a deep-lying playmaker with the physical bite of a dedicated enforcer. Averaging 67.5 passes per 90, he ranks in the top 5% of Serie A midfielders for involvement, yet he isn't just padding stats with lateral safety; his 11.25 passes into the final third suggest a verticality that most defensive anchors lack.
