For a defensive midfielder, his pace feels very solid. He’s not winger-fast, but he’s quick enough to close down attackers, recover in transition, and track late runs into the box.

This is where he stands out compared to many pure destroyer-type CDMs. His passing range allows him to dictate tempo from deep.

His reactions make him feel responsive in tight midfield battles. Loose balls, deflections, second balls, he’s often the first to react.

As expected from a CDM, his defensive stats are top-tier. Tackles feel strong and controlled, interceptions are consistent, and his positioning keeps him in the right areas.

He’s strong in shoulder-to-shoulder duels and doesn’t get bullied easily. His aggression in challenges makes him dominant in midfield battles.

4 Star Skill Move for a CDM, this is a huge bonus. Most CDMs are stiff and limited on the ball, but with 4-star skills, he can turn out of pressure, use simple skill combos, and create space when pressed.

His stamina allows him to maintain intensity throughout the full 90 minutes.
