• Stefan de Vrij(98% match) — A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (2.0 tackles/90), commanding in the air (4.6 clearances/90), meticulous in distribution (94% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (64% duel success), heavily involved in possession (63 passes/90), central to possession (75 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.1 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
• Fabio Chiarodia(99% match) — A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, active in the tackle (2.0 tackles/90), commanding in the air (5.7 clearances/90), reads the game exceptionally (1.6 interceptions/90), meticulous in distribution (86% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (59% duel success), central to possession (73 touches/90), uses long balls frequently (5.5/90) and active off the ball (2.6 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
• 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.
