Playing Style Analysis

Reliable Keeper

A Reliable Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (100% success) and keeps goals out effectively (0.10 conceded/90). The three closest DNA matches to Thiago:

  • Florian Stritzel(99% match) — A Reliable Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (86% success) and keeps goals out effectively (0.53 conceded/90).
  • Daniel Mesenhöler(99% match) — A Reliable Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (91% success) and keeps goals out effectively (0.33 conceded/90).
  • Mile Svilar(76% match) — Svilar has quietly become one of the most tactically complete goalkeepers in Serie A, a sweeper-keeper whose value extends well beyond shot-stopping into genuine ball-winning territory. His tackles won rate sits in the top 5% of league goalkeepers—a figure that sounds anomalous until you watch him read situations before they become crises, ranking in the top 20% for game-reading.
